Thanks Mardelin, I talked to the lady at Evenstar Yorkies back a couple of months ago. Tx2Stephn Yorkies is the other show kennel here. Sonja from
Stehpn is the one that sent me to a breeder here that doesn't show, but is VERY reputalble. Linda (Fancy's breeder) doesn't think she wants to get involved with all the politics, etc, she's heard goes on in the "show world". Things do seem to have changed in this area since I showed my Longhaired Dachshunds back "before children". I tried getting help on show grooming the ears, but was told that she "had learned from her mentor, and had promised never to tell how it was done or she would be dumped by the lady". ??????
The other, Evenstar, just seemed to busy, but with 20 dogs at home, guess that's understandable. I showed my dogs along with many other breeds for others, worked with and for, some of the top handlers in the country to learn all I could and found people much more willing to help than what I find around here now. Oh, well, it doesn't discourage me, it just encourages me! I've read everything I can find on grooming the ears, so I guess I will just continue to take a little more off each time till it looks right. Practice make perfect, huh! To everyone, I LOVE YT!!!!!!! You guys are GREAT!!!! |
