This will be very helpful to those who are looking for advice. 
Number of Years Breeding?
Number of Years Showing?
Number of Homebred Champions Bred?
Number of the ones you Bought and Championed? |
Well I will try to answer....
Number of years breeding? Well almost 10 for yorkies however 22 years if you count my beginnings with Cocker Spaniels
Number of years showing? Once again, 3 or 4 months however did show back 22 years ago with the Cockers...then paid a handler.
Number of homebred champions? Yorkies none as I just am beginning, Cockers 1
Number of the ones bought and championed? Yorkies: none yet, my boy is just starting out this past weekend...Cockers...geesh I am old but I believe 2... I did buy a championed male dose that count?
I am a previous Vet Tech(well still am but not practicing)and now a Registered Nurse..so for breeding and medical I have lots of knowledge but learn something new just about every day if I can. I have read many books on Yorkies and read The Complete Yorkshire Terrier (cover to cover twice) I have also attended shows for years as a spectator but being IN it recently I realize not much has changed since I did it 20+ years ago. Still very political, sometimes about the person holding the lead instead of what is on the end of it, always run out of time to put the finishing touches on a dog, vendors still charging an arm and leg for something, and so on and so on.
There are quite a few on here I look to for advice and I also give advice to some when they are asking for it. If I do not know the answers I will leave it alone or refer to someone who does know. Not one person on here is an "expert" on Yorkies but if they have been there done that then I feel they can offer advice. It is up to the user whether they use the advice or ignore it.
