YT Friends,
Ms. Marilyn Monroe "Lipstik" is now seven months, and weighs about four and a half pounds. I am including some pictures I took of her last week. I had talked with her breeder who may consider co-ownership if Ms. Lipstik is suitable for showing and breeding. I would love to show her, though I have never done this before, but only would consider this if she is worthy of being shown and bred(though this is not my first consideration, but would need to do this for the breeder). she has a double bite on both bottom teeth. And her coat is short for showing.
Let me tell you she is something else. She has a wonderful disposition. She not only is loving towards me, but she is confident and is certainly developing some wicked traits. As many of you know, I have a Smooth fox terrier(19 lbs) and a loving Yorkie, General Patton(weighing around 10 lbs). Well, Ms. Lipstik will get on my ottoman and protect a little rawhide bone(with supervision of course) to the point that if Bella or Patton comes close to her, she will lunge (can't think of another word)
at them, teeth showing, growling, to the point that she will fall off the ottoman. And Bella will back off. It is so cute. General Patton even tries to be the mediator with Bella. But she is very sociable with them otherwise.
What I would like to know from the breeders especially is if you would give me your honest(and I do like to know what you think)input of Lipstik, but also what it would take to start a show career for someone like me who has never done this before. I would love to hear if anyone knows someone in NC if I decide to do this. This would be nice for me to consider, but will only do this after discussing this with the breeder, and knowing she has a good chance.
Thanks for your help.
Maria
