Default How do you pick a winning show pup?

When those of you that show dogs, what characteristics are you looking for in a puppy? How old are the puppies when you choose to buy? Do you eyeball whether the dog is square or put the head and tail up and say he's square???

I'm so interested in this because Pooky's Grandfather is a champion and his father is competing...But I think Pooky didn't cut the mustard so his breeder parted with him...but he did tell me that he thought he could be shown...maybe so I'd like him more, idk, I have no idea what i'm looking at other than the most adorable little yorkie puppy. I want a healthy pet, not interested in showing at all so I opted to not have all the paperwork, tattooing, micro chip because I can't imagine him being anywhere except with me. I also made it clear that I didn't want a doxie either...too long...but I don't know if he is or not. I measured him poolside and he seemed to be 7"X8.5" I was so curious I wrote this one lady in the US that shows her yorkies. She told me my dog wasn't proportioned correct and not to show him or breed him. lol geez...your comments are much sweeter ;0) Honestly, from some of the dogs I've seen offered down here, if I bred him once before neutering him, it'd do the Yorkies some justice
