I understand your frustrations....I too showed other dogs years ago......and I cannot remember having as much difficulty then....I go to lots of shows to watch.....and listen....and I do just that.....
Maybe the "newbies" to showing should form a Club......and then we can find one Mentor.....and then all help each other with info, and all the other things that the "veterans" already know. Sounds like a plan to me.....  |
This is not the norm. Most people in the show world of yorkies are very willing to help a newbie. They have only one criteria; that the newbie is truely sincere about showing.
When purchasing a show dog from a reputable breeder you also purchase a mentor. I know I did, my mentor was at every show I showed my first Champion. From her 1st puppy match till the day she obtained her Championship and went on to Special. She was there helping me with my first litter and has always been there to help me every step of the way.
