I found the best way to shake the label was to breed a potential, shwo it and win...then no one will label you a BYBer,if they did it would mean you had better Yorkies...please understand, not all show breeders are like this, many are so nice and helpful, you have to weed then out. |
Pat,
I agree with what you have said, but unfortunatly it seems there are so many of the showers that are just plain rude. I want to show becasue I enjoy the competition and the showing. I have always loved whatching the dog shows and wanted to be in ther middle of it, I also do it becuse I was told it could help my daughter, (she is a little slow) that the competition , the formality and the ring could help her. I am talking about jr. shows on this one.
I feel that I could be the nice ones, listening and answering questions.
The one thing I have noticed tis that the people in my area take showing so seriiously and it is such a closed off group that it is very hard for any newcomer to feel good at first. I was told be patient and in time they come around. It actully seems that they come around as you win...lol anyways. I just wish there woud be more willing people in the show ring. At times it becomes difficult and depressing to be around them, it seems like a club you just cant get access to.
I am lucky I have a mentor, and with that a way in that will not only give me a little bit of experiance, but also the showers are more willing to give me the time of day. Funny how that is.
Oh and just so everyone knows it isnt only this breed that the showers are like this, it is all of them, just a diffrent life I guess. Some I think take it way to serios.
My Bridget would be considered a BYB becasue she hasnt showed, but she is a show potential pup, go figure. She also loved her dogs very much and wasnt out to make a buck, but out to make beutiful puppies. I guess we just really cant be discriminatory about it can we.
