You are a very special woman who takes the well-being of not only your dogs but all of the dogs of the forum and beyond Yorkie Talk. You spend countless hours devoting your time to educating people. You have set the bar very high being a wonderful Yorkie parent and a great example of what it means to be an excellent breeder. I look forward to when Razzman gets his Canine Good Citizen and when you are able to compete with him in other arenas.

What she said! But seriously, everything I wanted to say, Lisa said more perfectly than I ever could have. I admire you and your attitude so much. You are always so helpful to everyone. You have some very lucky dogs - they get to belong to you. Good luck on the CGC and all your future endeavors. Razz is certainly one beautiful, happy boy!

By the way - Sadie didn't pass her CGC this time but she was so close. She couldn't keep her butt on the floor when the evaluator bent down to pet her. We came a long way with your suggestions though and I know she will be able to pass with just a little more work. She did ace her temperament testing for therapy though and we are now officially an intern team in training. Thank you so much for all your help!

Gail,

You did a beautiful job crafting this video. How wonderful to see Razzle develop from a pup to a Grand Champion. Of course, my favorite parts were the dock diving and the fun pics from the photoshoot. I also enjoyed your music choices.

Gorgeous and moving video!

Too bad they don't make glue for their happy butts - lol. Would give new meaning to sit/stay. Wonderful news on the TT - good luck with the therapy training.

O-M-G! That 4-minute video just totally changed my opinion of show Yorkies. I've always admired them, but I thought the price of the pursuit of perfection was too high -- I couldn't imagine limiting their activity so they could have a beautiful coat.

When I clicked on the video, I was thinking 4+ minutes was too long. By the end, I had tears streaming down my face and was disappointed it was over!

Absolutely loved it! Razzle is the perfect ambassador of the breed.

Awh Mike your comments and others brought tears to my eyes. You all on Yorkie talk have been with me all the way!. I've so admired what you do for your Yorkies, and to hear your kind words, well at the minimum makes my heart sing.

Razzle is of course perfect in my eyes, but somehow, someway, folks here (of course) saw my love for him.

Mike never let them tell you a show dog can't live a normal life. Ours do. It is just a matter of drive and determination. Sad but true, I've not known enough to keep the moustaches growing' but the coat Oh yes I can do.

I will never sacrifice, small furnishings at the expense of joy, of working with a dog, for the small penalty I pay in the show ring.

And I too cry every time I play this video.

Had to come back for another peek at the video.

It's funny, both times the tears started flowing at this picture for some reason. Part of it was the song, which is perfect, but the combination of beauty and precociousness all comes together in this shot.
