The true meaning, pride and knowing you have done something well is when you finish your OWN yorkie that you have bred.
We call this being Breeder/Owner/Handled!
When I see this I am more impressed with a yorkie than if a handler finishes it.
However as some experienced show breeder's age it gets harder to show ourselves and health reasons can play a part in ending up needing to use a handler. But then again you do learn who has shown thier own in the past and why they need a handler now. Whether getting up and down cannot be any longer done and or the quality is just not quite there for it to be owner finished. The show world is really not a big one and we all know each other in some way. Once begining to show you do acquire this knowledge as well.
