Bile Acids, CERF, OFA, Temperament Testing, etc.
Showing is costly; There is of course the cost of the dog, tests run on the dog, Equipment, traveling expenses.
I suggest that while you are attending shows that you search for your mentor. One that is well versed in everything yorkie. Someone that has the knowledge and strong love for the breed. This person will guide you through everything; Training, nutrition, presenting a dog, what shows to attend, what classes/seminars to attend, teaching you pedigrees, and much, much more.
