We just witnessed (what should've been) a very nice thread closed because of nasty comments. Jealousy is an ugly thing. But, if you read these boards and really pay attention, it's not all that hard to find people that clearly care more for the yorkie breed than their own boring ego. Watch for the people that offer support when others are in trouble. (because they care more about the life of the dog rather than what ribbons it might attain.)
Personally, I can't imagine approaching a stranger at a show to offer "help". I wouldn't want anyone I didn't know anywhere near my dog before a show. I think a sincere love of the breed shows through with the serious breeder, not the elitist attitude of some. And I have seen alot of "do as I say, not as I do" in the show world. |
