Even our professional handler we showed with was hoping too, because she was a doll. But that is how it goes sometimes and one reason why yorkies are so hard to pretict how they will turn out. You also have color, bites, toplines, texture, so many more that makes it so hard to predict what an adult yorkie will turn out to be. But it is the experience one gains by showing that is pricless!

Tina,
I agree sometimes you don't know and hope they grow and make the cut!!
I don't think its a waste to put them in some shows now and again.
Yorkies are a very hard breed to predict what the outcome will be.
Some much changes from birth untill 1-1.5 years old. sometimes
you just know and sometimes you just have to wait it out.

I have to agree....take my Molly, she's actually the size of her mother but she looks smaller to me and I've had "MANY" reputable show breeders tell me I need to keep her and finish her and breed her "BUT" she's too small for me actually so she's going to a nice pet home. I really enjoyed showing her and I know she could finish but right now financially I just can't justify showing her because I'm not going to breed her so now she'll be happy in a good pet home and loved

I just like a bigger bitch myself
