If people only knew that the competition stops when you walk out of the ring. In the evening we all go out shopping, site seeing and dinner together.

Then there is the anger you feel when you get beat by an obviously inferior dog....that you hold in until you are in the car or in your hotel room.

And then there is those very strict contracts that go along with each show dog. Then there is that bit of ego that comes into play when you breed your first home bred Champion. Believe me there is nothing like that feeling you get when you begin winning from the Bred By Exhibitor Class.

OMG I remember when some got hot under the collar for winning in the bred by class because they think the open dog or bitch should win every time LOL LOL LOL

I have learned a lot on this thread as well as others i love the aspect of showing i think it is amazing to see all these beautiful dogs!

I have met a couple of show breeders, some here on YT, and some at the last show I attended, and I have never encountered any harsh or meanness. Each one of them I have spoken to, briefly and at length have actually been very, very helpful and forthcoming with information.

In my opinion show breeders work hard at what they do to try and improve the breed we all love so much and if sometimes we get passionate about it in the way we express our feelings don't take it as being a hard butt. There is alot of blood sweat and tears that go into breeding that great speciman you want to take in the ring and to see our breed or any other breed respresented less than the best is not taken lightly! Show breeders are very passionate and we think everyone else should be also. As with human children you expect the best for them and show breeders are the same with their breedings!

See yet another good post now THAT I understand....I can get very defensive of my kids...Thats my job...If I dont protect then who will?? ya kinda lose it for a second lol It upsets me when those that dont breed STILL jump on ya about stuff they have read in a book or off a website as we all know there is no manual on raising kids...I am understanding from the way you put it, it's along those same lines you just dont get it unless you do it and really get your hands in it. Thanks Donnna.

A couple of other sayings. If you alienate you can't educate. If you lose your cool, you've lost the battle. Always remember where you came from. Be careful on how you treat people on your way up, because they maybe the same people you'll meet on the way down. Always Give Back.

Oops! One more. Never Let Them See You Sweat

Showing and breeding go hand in hand to represent the breed to it's fullist whether it be yorkies or any other breed. To understand why a show breeder gets alittle testy is because some think it's easy just to breed and that's it. To understand the breed you have to know the standard and to know the standard showing a dog really helps you understand why the standard is there. Then you have health issues and a show breeder wants to make sure their breedings are free of the health issues to be able to show and breed the best of the best. It takes alot to breed dogs and to know it is too get in there and do whatever it takes to achieve it. Showing is part of it! Again JMHO!

...kk... Im looking on the info dog website you guys suggested but i need some help here... If it says for example:silky terrier club or golden retriever club ect. Then it is ONLY that breed that will be shown there? And if it says something like "san gabriel valley kennel club" then there will be all different types of breeds??? Also, the what does it mean when it says "closing" is that the last day you can register if you wanted to enter your dog??? I know these probably seem like really stupid questions but this is all so new to me... hehe....
