Dog shows for the "under yorkie"? Hello, Please note that I in no way mean to insult our furrybabies or owners at all. However, the AKC has some really strict standards for what classifies a Yorkie and what is the breed standard, and who can and can not participate in dog shows. This is not a commentary on the AKC or their standards-I beleive in standards. Consequently, I am wondering are there dog shows 1) specifically for Yorkies 2) non-akc standard shows where it is just for fun and celebrate our furbabies 3) Are there dog shows for Yorkies who do not sport the long coats and wear cuts like the puppy cut? I am just wondering! Please feel free to post!:aimeeyork |
Yes the standard for breeding and show dogs is very specific, but you could possible participate in something like agility, or obedience with your dog. There are no rules as to appearence for these activities, and it is a great opportunity for you and your dog to do some bonding. I am trying to train mine for their AKC canine good citizen tests.:) |
I forgot to add that, there are conformation shows for yorkies,they are specialty shows and really neat to watch. You can find them through your local ytca parent clubs or on infodog.com |

My MIL dances with her sheltie. It is very entertaining to watch. Here is a video of her group several years ago: There is a yorkie in their group, but not in this video. There are a lot of fun things you can do with your yorkie! |

There is A Canine Freestyle Federations (CFF). Check with AKC. |
Thanks Mardelin & CouversMom! :D That was fun to watch! |
Here is a better video of her... but the music is missing: I think it is amazing the amount of control these people have over their dogs. Using only oral commands, they are able to get their dogs to do some amazing stuff :D |

WOW that is amazing. :rolleyes: I would love to see a yorkie perform like this. Do you think as a whole they are too independent? |
This is just so cute! I honestly did not think that I would get any responses! Thank you soooooooooo much for your responses! I think this Latino daddy is going to teach his Yorkie to Salsa!!!! |

Dancing Dog Can Salsa Way Better Than You Can (VIDEO) |
Freestyle is one of my favorites! Here is one I love watching. There is another one I am going to try and find....it was a lady who had cancer and it was her last dance/performance with her dog. I sat crying over that one. |

I just did a search on You Tube for yorkies and really did not find much. I also cannot remember the one that was dying. She left her dog to a friend who planned to continue to do freestyle with her...it was their last dance and it was so sad. I had it saved somewhere....guess I did not save it well. :( |
