I have been mulling over the "show aspect" of being a responsible breeder too. I am just not sure about that myself. I would love to find a local Yorkshire Terrier Club but have seen no evidence of one. Nor have I been able to locate any shows close to me -- I would at least like to attend a few. Shows do afford a person an objective evaluation of their dogs for potential breeding, but I can see that it is not for everyone -- maybe not for me either. I will keep looking into this -- I have plenty of time. |
Where in Florida do you live. There is the Yorkshire Terrier Club of Central Florida and The Yorkshire Terrier Club of Southern Florida. Not everyone is fortunate enough to have one close by. But, if you're serious you can still join by contacting one of the clubs and asking them about being a long distance member and what are the qualifications. Our club has many members that do not live locally. These members offer their support to the club in many other ways.
The sport of dog showing is not for everyone. It does not have to encompass your life, I'm a mother of 3 and a grandmother of 6. I show on the average of 1 weekend a month, on rare occassions maybe 2 and keep my trips within driving distance.
