To be honest I've been seriously considering showing them I'm just a little bit lost on what to do as I've never shown dogs before. I also don't know if its even worth going through all the work in case the pups develop faults as they grow. it could be a fun hobby though.
My breeder has been excellent though and is giving me all sorts of advice on how to train the pups. Whats confusing me is basic things like Ringcraft classes or which Yorkshire terrier club i should join, as I'm in no mans lands as far as Yorkshire terrier club area coverage goes.
Also in Merseyside where i am there are well over 20 Ringcraft training groups, i just don't know which one to join. Or even whether i should ignore the local groups and travel much further to get in to the best ringcraft classes for my pups. You see thats the sort of thing my breeder can't help with as they're on the other side of the country from me.
I am reading as much as i can I've got 3 Yorkshire terrier books a beginners guide book to show dogs. There's just so much information out there it's a bit overwhelming so any help from anyone would be greatly appreciated. |
You wouldn't know if they where show quality until they got older too. Breeders should only breed to better the breed and should only breed dogs who are an excellent representation of the breed and you won't know if they are an excellent example of the breed until they are grown.
