I suggest to everyone getting started to go to UKC shows to train you dog and learn to show. It moves a little slower and exhibitors have more time to help you. When you girl is ready to start winning in the AKC you both will have ring experience. We picked up a nasty respitory infection a few weeks ago at a show. Leave your babies at home. |

i have enrolled MeiLing in handling class for the last thursday of this month for a start...hehe |
sick Illnesses is one of the draw backs to showing...there is a virus called.."dog show crud"...a breeder recently lost one of her champions to it...take a spare pair of shoes and always change before getting in the car...wash your hands when you come home and change your clothes before touching your dogs...I always left my carrier outside and cleaned it before coming inside...I have only had one bad bout of a virus run through my Yorkies after a show, 8 of about 14 were quite ill.....unfortunately when you have dogs at home it can be a real mess of upset bowels and stomach..and even worse. |

The girl I am showing picked up a virus at her very first show. Took her about a week to get rid of the runs and get her appetite back. |

It is going to happen sometimes. Just make sure she is up to date on vaccines. I always spray my gear and my shoes with Lysol before I bring it back into the house. Spectators want to touch your dogs but they don't understand that they can carry things on their hands. I try hard not to be rude but I have started asking people not to touch my dogs. These dogs are little and they can get very sick quickly. I have a girl with a stage 5 heart murmur. She is my husband's dog and it is going to break his heart when she dies. I have to be extra careful because of Nona. |

I am taking handling classes with Mingtoy's breeder and I enjoy it . I think I need more training than the little one . |

I would like to take handling classes just for fun and to learn more about it. I e-mailed the kennel club in this area and haven't heard back...I'm thinking they must not check their e-mails often. I'm not sure where else to look for handling classes. |

They should have a phone number in the phone book for your kennel club, you may want to try that. We have had some come to the classes and try their hand at showing before deciding if it is for them. And we usually between all of the members have a pup they can practice with and always could use an extra hand. Is there any show breeders in your area that you could help them train their dogs. It wouldn't neccessarily have to be Yorkies but prehaps another toy breed. Just some food for thought. If you were close enough to me I would love it LOL Deana Prestigeous Yorkies |

I thought if I took a handling class, I'd just use Rylie since I'm just doing it to learn and for fun. Lacy pulls too much on her lead, but Rylie would probably do a good job so far as practicing. I'd love to actually assist an exhibitor if one were closer...sounds like fun! |
