Disagree, While I am still a newby to Conformation, these Judges do not play games. I have learned so much and Jeanie you and Debbie can too. 99% of the excibitors are wonderful people who care so much about keeping the breed pure. There is no way to tell if you have a champion out of a litter until maybe 20 months. They may get one champion out of 10 pups. The rest are placed in Good pet homes. And I mean Placed. Nothing compared to the prices I have seen on some sites. Sure you will always have a bad apple in every bunch but for the most part they are very very caring that know their lines. Matter of fact there was a lady that was a YT member here a while back and she now has a top 10 Yorkie in the US. Havoc...She learned and studied and is a GREAT exhibitor and handler....
