I don't like belly pics of pregnant moms either....poor things look so degraded. Just like I don't like taking pics of my moms with their pups until they have been cleaned and made look pretty....

You're lucky if you get 1 in every 3 to 6 litters......Yeah! there are times you have one that just maybe.....but, just doesn't have it all.

Grooming is something that takes awhile to get.....each dog is different, requiring a whole different set of products and ways of doing things, it's almost like you're sculpting. I love being in the ring, although that took awhile so that everything was 2nd nature. Again, each dog is different, learning how to instinctively make a correction and knowing when the dog is going to need it....and the trick of not anyone know it.

My pups are doing great......yep! running around and creating mischief. This is the part the requires a lot of work and watching which one is going to be the one. My Tahlulah & Charmer Bunch all have the attitude....now its a watch and see which one has it all. My Rosie & Denny Bunch, I'm watching a lil girl.....she appears to have it all but, her size is just not quiet there.

Vegas is being discussed, however, not completely being decided upon.......It would be nice to have it out here in the west, only about 4 or 5 hours drive for me.

What? And you didn't mention it to me Mary? Oh man... I'll be praying for it to come here. Do you have any idea of the month - IF it were to come here? Who would host it? I didn't think there was a Yorkie club here. OMG I'm so excited!!!

There isn't a Yorkie Club there, it's the YTCA Roving National...it would be held in conjuction with the All Breed Show.

It's in the preliminary stages of being discussed with YTCA. The problem is, that it's being discussed holding it under a tent.....something exhibitors want nothing to do with.....Since the month is October....we all know it can still be hot in Vegas and then the possibility of winds.......not something an exhibitor wants to put their yorkie through...heat and the winds blowing and sounding like a frieght train.

For next Oct? Gez, I would think that the HUGE convention center or Cashman Field or any of the many ballrooms sitting empty would be more than happy to accomodate them.

Yes, next year. I don't know what the Show Committe has come up with. There is talk of Primm and then Lake Las Vegas. However, it is my understanding that many of the Casinos will not allow dogs???? But, then again I know that MGM Grand use to allow it.b

Then the committe and club has a budget too.
