I show my dogs in the AKC but I have found that the UKC is a great place to learn how to show and to train dogs. Weight pull is great for conditioning show dogs. I am always amazed when I see a dog pulling 9,000 lbs. The dogs seem to be having such a great time. I love to watch my dogs, in full coat, running through the tunnel doing GTG or racing.
There are some really nice people in the Michigan area that show Yorkies in the UKC and AKC. I will be glad to put you in touch with them. |
Thank you so much. But if I can't show my dogs, and their rule is owners must show their dogs, and yes I know you can get a 'volunteer" to show your dog on this or that day, but that is a different thing, for an owner that knows that 90% of the time they would not be able to show their dog, it seems like to me dishonest to rely on volunteers to show their dog for them. It is a hole if you will in the UKC rules.
BTW I'm not putting my Yorkies in weight pull but my BRT;s.
For my Yorkie I could probably on my worst day muddle through in the ring.
I still am able to compete in obedience, and sometimes agility. I take it day by day with my condition.
