I have just started handling because I only do yorkies and that is where I know my breed and how to groom a yorkie and show and present a yorkie. I just don't send my yorkie with just anyone... Donna |

All breed handlers usually do not know the fine nuances of handling a yorkie and for the most part do not house your yorkie in their home. They are kenneled. There are a few yorkie handlers. There are a few that I would personnaly recommend. Donna do you know any close to where this person lives. |

I don’t have the dog yet, but I’m looking for my female yorkie to show. I have two yorkies now that I love to groom but it’s different when you go to show. Also, it will be good for me if I learn from the handler and in the future I can handle my yorkie. I was thinking to buy the puppy from Deb of amazing yorkie, but I doing my task. Looking information, and looking and again looking. Thank you so much for your interest :aimeeyork |

Since it sounds like your interest is showing yourself...you can find confirmation classes locally to attend. |
I agree, most handlers do not give free lessons. There are some handlers that will occasionally hold handling classes. Your best bet would be to contact a local breed club and see of there is someone giving conformation classes. There is a lot of hard work that goes into socialization and growing coat before a handler takes a dog. I know many owners will show the dogs themselves and get all the single points and turn the dog over to a handler for the majors. A dog has to win two majors of 3 points or more to complete their championship and in some areas majors are hard to find so you just about have to send your dog with a handler or plan on doing a lot of traveling. The majors are determined by the number of dogs entered and some areas take more dogs than in other areas to get a major. It take 15 points for a dog to become a champion. There are some handlers that will take your dog at ringside but they don't usually do that unless your dog is already well trained. |

Good post. One more thing to add if you don't mind. Even if a dog is well trained. It is totally unfair to the dog to put it with a stranger. |
I agree, it is best if the dog has time to get acquainted with the handler but I have seen dogs taken in by a handler with very little beforehand contact and did amazingly well and won. I think a lot of it depends on the dog and their personality. Also, these were yorkie handlers that the owner was familiar with and the handler was familiar with the dog and the dog had ring experience. |
I know Sue and Norm, good hound and Boston handler, but they do not know expert Yorkie grooming and handling..look for a Yorkie handler as advised. |
