Welcome. I am sure you will be a great addition to the sport. How far are you from Knoxville? There is always a good entry at the Nov show. There were majors last year.

I did not go to the dinner....I dont think many people know me well yet.....I think Becki mentioned that someone commented about getting together at dinner....but no one said anything to me.....oh well.....that is the only thing I hate....,being new....and not having a mentor......but, I do have a few good friends to help me...so I am fortunate...

It is hard being the newbie, I've only been showing for for 15 months. It takes a while for some people to warm up but I kinda gravitate to the other newbies and make friends there first. I hate cliques so I try to talk to everyone but I do find that the other newer exhibitors are alot more open. Hopefully you will find yourself a Laurie, she's good at bringing people together.

You would think with the fact that I have been to 98% of the shows in the South over the last almost 3 years....learning Yorkies, and all that goes with showing.....that they would know I was NOT a fly by nite....LOL....

In defense of all that....it is a very busy time at the ringside...so, it does not surprise me that I am NOT the center of anyone else"s universe...LOL....althougth, I would like to think I was....Roflmao!

But, it is ok.....I am big girl.....I will plug away. I did meet two other newbies...that were so very nice...and the more I go to now with a Yorkie the better....

Laurie? Is that your mentor? I dont know names on here...just member names......

OBTW.....my girl's name is "Paddy" (nik name)

I wish I had known you were going. My dear friends Jan and Carol are there and they would have taken care of you.

They show in TN more than I do. Let me know when you are doing to you next show and I will give them a heads up.

I will be in TN in Nov. Maybe I can convince Tami to come along with me.

I'm Laurie. I will be glad to do anything I can to help. I have been trying think of someone closer to you that I can introduce you to but, so far, no one comes to mind. There is a show in Asheville, NC in June. There will be nice people there to help and give you moral support. I'm sure we will all go to dinner on Sat night and talk dogs!

I can't wait to see a picture of Paddy!!

lwolfe is Laurie, she's a show buddy. She has slot of them all over the place so she's great to make friends through. A lovelier gal you'll never meet.

Saleswman · 03-14-2008, 07:55 AM

Laurie and Tami....thanks for you offer of help....that is so very nice of you both.

I never thought I would be intimidated at a show....but, darn there were some very "tenured" people there...and it is a different story when you are there instead of being on the sidelines taking notes...LOL.

Saleswman · 03-14-2008, 08:04 AM

Jan and Carol...what did they look like...? I had to have Mary Ross show me who everyone was...so, I did see some of the breeders that post in the YT magazine....that was pretty neat...

I live outside Murfreesboro...about 2.5 hrs from Knox......I travel a bit so going to shows is no big deal as far as traveling goes...

Here she is I think.....This is not me with her...it is my friend Becki.....sorry about the pics, I am def not a photographer!

You started with a tough one! Most people will go to matches and small shows before they take on their first specialty but you jumped right in. The next one will be easier.

Tami - Mary ask if you were going to be in Manasass for the supported entry. I think she is trying to take a count to see if there will be a major.

Is it an outdoor show? I'm thinking about not bothering with outdoor shows for Connor since he thinks he's a bunny.

Oh why not go straight for the fire! It's a good way to get a look at some gorgeous yorkies, rub elbows with alot of other yorkie people and check out the competition. Besides if you place your first time out at a specialty you know you really have something!!!

I like the coloring of your Paddy's face.
