"No I wouldn't show a dog. I don't have what it takes to show a dog. I enjoy being outdoors too much and want my dogs with me when I am. My dog would never achieve a show coat because I coudn't keep her inside. If you and your dog enjoy that then that's fine."
One more note-you can show your Yorkie clipped up! If his/her structure is nice, you'll do just fine. What show am I talking about?? You can go to a fun match (breed specific or not) and "show" your clipped Yorkie. It doesn't go on the record books for the AKC and most judges are more than happy to evaluate the structural soundness of any Yorkie if it fits the standard (w/ exception to the coat) and give you a heads up on that dogs strong point and weak points. I would trust that the hoops that judge had to jump through to get his title would make him more qualified and have a more valued opinion than the person showing. If the person who is showing could be a better judge, then become one. If you don't have the time, keep it zipped or report the judge. |
