I know some get into exhibiting just to obtain a CH because it's production in revenues and I know some exhibiting is for the pure joy of showing off a beautiful yorkie! For me, it's a passion and with that passion comes the bond me and my dog or someone else's dog that we create with each other. It's calming to me, it's knowing the love for the breed and it's beautiful represenation! It's the friendships I've made for the long term (mind you, I'm not in it make friends) but OHHHH it has given me a true joy of knowing I have met someone and some with the same driven passion I have. My mentors Linda Galloway and Linda Thompson are people I couldn't imagine my life without now in or out of the yorkie world! Natalie is another one I couldn't imagine not knowing and having a part of my life in or out of the yorkie world.

Yep, I remember watching my first dog show in person, I was captivated by the beauty of the Yorkies in the ring. I knew that was what I wanted to do. It has always been fun for me and I love having that Bond with whichever dog I am showing at the time. Right now I am getting Cruz ready for the ring. I am very happy with how he is turning out so far. I have met some amazing people and I wouldn't trade the friendships I have made for anything. This is one Hobby that I will never stop doing. I admit my goal with Cruz is to get him finished with AKC but not just to get him titled but to know that he worked for it just as much as I will, not for any other reason but because he deserves it.
