Not a dumb question......but, heavens no, show dogs are not drugged. As stated before they definately need the stamina and attitude to perform and put forth that yorkie attitude in the ring. The only time mine are crated is to travel and sleep. You'll see them very quiet on the grooming table, being primped and groomed. That behavior comes with alot of training.
Heck! The whole time I was showing Denny I wish I could have drugged him. He had so much energy there were times I had to do a jog to keep up with him in the ring. So many times I felt like telling the judge; look at him quick cause he doesn't stay still for very long.
