I found that finding classes was hard in my area, I finally found them but it took weeks of calling around.

What I did first was learned the rules of a dog show, then went and attended one, wrote down EVERYTHING that confused me and then researched that...while at the show I asked questions. I tried my best to learn dog show etiquette.

I then started researching everything I could find online about yorkies (the search still continues), I read every post in this section (and leanred quite a bit), asked some silly questions and big questions (I still have more...).

A few things I have learned (thanks to the lovely people here);

There is a differnce between show "quality" and show "potential"
Majority of breeders will not declare a dog show quality till they are at least 6 months old.
Most breeders keep there good quality dogs for themselves.
Look for a breeder who has several champions from there program.
There is so much to dog showing.
It is a rush (this is from my own personal experience)
It can take years to finish a dog.
It is daily work, a great sport and tons of fun!!!

I am just starting my quest to show, I still do not have a show dog, it may be many moons before that happens. But i am absorbing everything like sponge!!
