I never stated one time I did not have a good experience while I was showing my yorkies! What gave me a sour taste as far as showing was all the enhancing which goes on with showing dogs. It is very devasting to grow out your show prospect, which is an absolutely perfect specimen of the breedonly to be told by a few ytca members to color the coat because it is to light! At one time I had only the upmost respect and admiration for ytca members and I believed in their beliefs. It is hard to believe in people after you find out the standard only benefits them when it needs to. |

You are lying about my club, my sport and things that happen in the show world. Then say I'm mean?
I've never heard member/non members tell a newbie or anyone else to dye a dog. We have a standard that reads what it does and everyone should strive for this as correct. When you have a dog that is bred to the standard you will have a beautiful example of the breed. This is the goal, if you are not getting the correct color then you should breed out or start over. Anyone can grow a long coat out. How many points did you have on them? Were you losing to people with better color? How often were you winning? Were you having trouble with the majors? Was it a bitch after going into season? Was your yorkshire too old? Did you miss the time to show them because you were not successful? Maybe they didn't like you, maybe they were trying to get you in trouble. You've yet to mention a mentor. Not every show prospect finishes. Many of them will begin a show career only to be pulled later. Color is a big part of our standard. You had light dogs, just starting out?
Just because you say you had this experience with (the best of the best as you said LOL LOL LOL) this person it doesn't make it real. There are suckers born everyday. We aren't one of them. The best of the best LOL LOL
So you started showing with 3 show dogs. That is also very impressive! Must be the best line, you don't have to do much to care for them.
