I do not want anything I have said to discourage anyone from showing. In fact I plan another potential myself...but it is good to be aware. I feel badly for friends who go to a show to meet other fanicers...only to be treated rudely. I think the best place to get to know exhabitors is at a Club sponsored show..a Specialty or a show where they have a picnic afterwards. Wait until the show is over and join in the activities. In MD the Yorkie club rarely allowed non-show members and that was hard for me to tell sincere friends who wanted me to sponsor them..seemed so unfair. No where in the by-laws does it say that..here in Florida, the club appears to allow a fancier or hobby breeder.
I have never been a part of the "INNER CIRCLE" and never will be, but it has not stopped me from achieving my goals with my Yorkies..and I would not use it as a excuse not to show..rude people are everywhere, but we deal with it.
