From my Kukis litter I am keeping my Poppet (the girl) and have been advised- because I would love to be involved in showing- that she should be show worthy! So from a few weeks old I was teaching her grooming manners and all was going well, not brilliant, but well... But for 4 days I didn't groom her (so I know I'm to blame) but now I can't for the life of me get her to stand; she thinks the brush is is the grim reapers sythe!!!! She also hasn't grasped any command for 'stand' 'stay' or even 'wait', though she's got 'sit' 'up' 'paw' and 'come' down to a fine art- but a lot of help those are!!
Any ideas? Even faint hunches?!? there is obviously no way I'll want to try to show her if she thinks she's gonna die every time I get out the brush; but with the yorkie ring so empty ATM here, and her being so lovely From amazing lines, I will try anything! She's only coming 11 weeks and hasn't been evaluated yet- but unless something goes drastically wrong with her conformation, I imagine I'll be told to at least try a few shows...
Please, any and all thoughts greatly appreciated!
And sorry if this should have been in the grooming sect! And apologies for the long winded expaination!
