Hi! I'm new here, getting familiarized with YorkieTalk before I get my first Yorkie in the next week or so. I can tell this site is going to be a godsend for me! May I ask what those wraps are for? Is your baby a show dog? I have so much to learn!  |
Hi! The wraps are just to prevent hair breakage. And I suppose they help keep her coat from getting dirty. Her coat started touching the ground, so I started wrapping it. I find the wraps let her play, run, go for walks, etc. without me worrying about hair breakage from her coat rubbing and dangling on the ground. I purchased Maezie as a pet and she's been spayed, but I am planning on showing her this summer. She'll compete in the altered class.

Welcome to YorkieTalk, TessaTalk! You aren't far from me... I adopted my second yorkie from Portland  |
Yep. I'm planning on showing her this summer. Probably do at least a couple weekends of competing at dog shows. I'm looking forward to it and I'm thinking it should be a lot of fun!
