To the original poster, go to dog shows and especially Yorkie Specialties. You will get a much better idea of what a show yorkie should look like especially those being campaigned and will often then be 2 - 4years old. You can talk to the handlers and breeders. There is a lot to learn about showing, grooming the show dog, the tons of money you will be spending to do all that not just the cost of the dog.
Discern whether this might actually be something you can do both stamina wise and moneywise. It is not in any way a cheap hobby. You will never make money off selling puppies to make up for what you drop in trying to get championships. Then there is the time for getting to handling classes and their costs getting to dog shows and their costs.
All that is a terrible waste of money if you are trying to show a dog that perhaps is not a show quality after all. Even when it is you have professional handlers you are competing with and very many years breeder/owner/handlers. It is not an easy road by any means. |
