Why Don't Yorkies Win Dogshows? Pookie, Boo Boo and I love to watch all the dogshows on TV, but we wonder why the yorkies always do so poorly compared to other breeds. Not only don't they win best in show, I've never seen them win best in group or even make the first cut. I don't think it's just because yorkies are small, since I've seen pugs, toy poodles, papillions and Chinese cresteds walk away with all the trophies. Why do you think yorkies don't win dogshows? |
i think that all the time. I watch them on TV almost every weekend & Yorkies never even place! I don't get it! |
it's a conspiracy - they're all just jealous!! ;) |
I watched a program on TV recently about dog shows and how political they've become. Owners were lobbying for their breeds, and it didn't seem seem like an entirely fair process. |
This is the reason dog shows do not interest me @ all...They seem so political....also if you notice it seems like the same breeders are always there. I'm not bitter or anything about it, but it just seems like a very political thing. My 2 Cents, Michael |
Five years ago, long before Pookie and Boo Boo entered my life, my husband and I went to a dogshow in San Francisco. There were hundreds of dogs in the contest, but not a single yorkie was entered. Don't you think that's strange? |
shows They do win Best in Show..groups etc...there are hundreds of shows and you would have to see all the wins...in the Yorkshire Terrier mag they list all the stats in the ring for Yorks. Go to INFODog.com and see wins from all over the country. Top bitch, "Claire" (Biss CH. Exmoor's I D' Claire at Jo-Nel) has many groups wins. Ava Tyree's CH Wyatt has 5 group ONE and about 20 other group placing wins.. Parkside's Ch. Piano Man is has a BIS.. too many others to name.. My Charlotte's sire is a BIS..and BISS..Best In Specialty Show winner. |
Winners If you see no enteries for a popular breed like a Yorkie, they were probably have a specialty show at the same time..very common. |
I admit I am so niave as to dog showing... I heard some very distrubing news which makes me think why even show if they have to cheat to win. THEY DYE the dogs hair also use eyeliner around their eyes to enchance. Some say they just touch up "a not uniform coat" others DYE the entire coat. IMHO why bother to compete if you have to cheat its not a real win!!!! :mad: |
Yorkshire Terriers often wins at dogshows . I showed Kellie and one of my friend was showing her Yorkie named Cody . This little boy went Best In Show at the Sudbury dogshow . I was very happy for my friend . |
dog showing People do cheat, some do anything to win...but cheaters are a small part of the ones who win. Using a bluing shampoo on a Yorkie, coat products, flat iron, or a white powder to cover yellow on a maltese etc. is not cheating in my eyes...ever seen Oprah without her make-up? Grooming enhancments are a common thing. Tatooing a pink spot on the nose coat dying, or braces for teeth is very different. I used to get tried of seeing alot of the same people winning..but then it dawned on me..they had the best Yorkies and earned the wins...it is political to some degree..but a novice with a really good dog can win too. My friend, Lauire took her first show male and made him number one..first time she ever showed a dog...no ring experince..learned as she showed. |
Yorkie Wins! I read the Yorkshire Terrier Magazine every other month, and they show all of the wins, but I agree, I would like to see a champion win at Westminster or the Eukanuba show. Does anyone know the story about the Yorkie who was sold as a pet, inbred, who turned out to win Best in Show at Westminster? What year was that? and, when was the last time a Yorkie won there? |
If I am not mistaken , the only Best In Show Yorkie in Westminster was : Ch Ce De Higgens in 1978 , he was owned by Mrs Switzer |
Higgins 1978 was the first and last time at Westminster. |
