Your local breed club - is still or should be a good source to go by. Even if they don't have Yorkie breeders - if they have any toy breeders that are showing in AKC you can develop relationships with them, go to shows with them - and get introduced to Yorkie breeders at the show.
You see you need to get known by these folks. An hour away for a Yorkie Club is not so bad - that is if you have a car to get there with. I have driven farther and much more frequently to do training. to take workshops, to see my breeders frequently.
Start saving your $$ to go to the nearest Yorkie Specialty. Go to www.ytca.org to see their up-coming specialties.
And in the meantime, study study study. Take workshops - especially go to workshops on breeding, structure, gaiting, showing and better still if there are workshops you can attend in person.. |
Forgot to ask...any suggestions on where to go for information on workshops? I didn't really see anything on AKC website and I'm always cautious of Google results.
Thanks
