? Well, my experience is very different from yours and that's fine. I still stand by me not finding what I wanted here in the US, I guess I'm too picky. And the ones that I did like weren't available-they were being kept back to be shown by the breeder and one day (if matured out physically and mentally) that dog would be added to their breeding program.
As far as Nemo and Isaac goes, neither of those dogs were going to be shown in conformation. That was agreed on at the time of purchase. HOWEVER, Nemo did go on to be shown once and Isaac (RIP) died at 6 months of age by being accidentally slammed in a car door. One more note, while BOTH dogs were sold on full registry, Isaac was bought from Emerald Acres in California. Patricia Green is a nice enough lady and she does show her dogs. Not as much as I'd like, but she does. Nemo has gone on to be quite the show dog (AKC Obedience) w/ scores consistently in the high 190's from his CD through to his CDX. He wasn't my dog- he belongs to my parents and I was able to get him these titles w/ THOSE scores by going in and "stealing" him for a week or two at a time for the shows. Now tell me if that isn't a Yorkie w/ a work ethic?!? He is literally ONE in a MILLION on the Yorkie scale. The only thing that boy is lacking is a perfect top line.
NEITHER of those dogs were bought w/ the intention to breed and they have not been bred to date...of course not Isaac...poor baby.
