All that being said it's a great experience for your dogs AND for you. Besides all that being said what better way to find a good stud or bitch? I'm newish to yorkies but I have experience with top show breeders of Dachsies (SLH), English Setters and PBGVS (Petite Basset Griffon Vandeen) and they were all good loving people. To love dogs so much you almost have to be a good person and most of the show circuit is full of nice people. At the top level it may get a little ugly but that you wont have to worry about... AT least for now 
luvdorkyyorkies, it's obvious you love yorkies and breed within the standard, that's all I would/anyone should of you. I'm curios, are your pups papered? I'm guessing yes or showing wouldn't be an option. |
Breed showing can drive a person nuts. I wont name names on a message board, but just a few weekends ago, I enter a show and was up against one of the very best "known" toy dog handlers. This handler walked into the ring with a Yokie with a brown nose and got put up for winners both times. That stuff is enough to make it completely understandable why many good breeders whould chose NOT to show thier dogs.
