Another thing besides having a very nice looking yorkie is - personality. I have seen gorgeous yorkies, but if they do not have that showy personality - it is hard to get the win.

Yorkies are a very hard breed to show and win. It depends on so many things to get that win: how does your dog compare to others in standard in the ring that day, did it show well, Did you show well too! Your dog can look great, but you can be so scared or mess up/have a bad day - that it relates down your lead to your dog and not do well for your dog.

Attitude is of great importance. However, I've seen judges put up bad dogs over good ones, just because the bad one was more showy. Not good, since the dog should be judged on conformation.

Yes, presentation is very important. You are a back drop for the dog and what you wear should not be flashy and what you do to handle the dog should not be visable to anyone. It's always nice to hear someone say what a great dog, better than do you see the dog So and So did a great job of handling.
