I had the opposite experience when I went to a show in CA last year. I thought the dogs were gorgeous and everyone in the room had an appreciation of the breed. Sure some of the breeders were arrogant and their dogs looked empty but MOST were adorable and happy little prancers that I wanted to take home!
before the show, everyone is nervous and it isn't a good time to approach the dogs or the breeders. After they show most are nice and open to talking to you. The dogs were soooooo cute. I was invited to one persons room to see her pups and I held her show dog. Sweet and funny and a typical Yorkie, just more beautiful than most of our pets.
And many show dogs end up sharing pillows with loved ones after they contribute to the advancement of this beautiful breed. |
