WOW I loved watching that video! Watching the puppies was so funny - its reassuring to see that some aren't so perfect in the ring and puts my mind at ease a little. The one that that little asian girl was handling was completely defiant on that table.
Her mother has some champions in her lines but they are serveral generations back. Dad is champion sired and is loaded up with champions. The breeder is going to email me a copy of her sire's pedigree this evening - I meant to pick up a copy when I visited today, but forgot. She has never shown before but has lots of very great quality Yorkies.
Btw, I weighed Pepper at her house and she is actually 2.9 lbs at 14 weeks. I don't know where I got that 3.2 from before.
OKAY -- NOW.. I've gone and done something real dumb, I'm sure of it. While at the breeder's house today, she brings out this dog. A boy, born this past August with champions out the yang. He has a beautiful, thin silky coat that is already about 2 inches long. He has this delicate little face and feet that are just to die for and weighs 2 lbs 14 oz today. She said she didn't have the heart to sell him, and when I told her of my interest in learning to show, she wanted to know if I was interested in taking him for a while. Well, of course I didn't turn her down.
Now I have no idea what to do! There is a little issue though. He's a little shy. He's fine around the other dogs, but his body tenses up when you pick him up. Maybe its just because I'm new to him and he needs to get used to me. While I'm sitting here on the couch, he's laying contentedly next to me and even laying his head on my leg. Maybe he will get over this little apprehensiveness once he gets to know me. I've attached a couple of cell phone pictures.
I may just give it a week or so -- if he isn't receptive to leash training at least then I think I might have to give him back.
