| ![]() How does it work? Do you sign up by classes just like the regular shows? We have one coming up in our area and I am thinking of putting Cash in. He will be just under nine months old. It will be his first AKC show. I know usually the specialities are the more experienced dogs but someonee posted on here last year that their puppy had won something. I believe it was Saleswoman with the dog Becky handled for her. Thanks |

Yorkie Lover Donating Member | ![]() Yes, you sign up for classes as you would other shows. But often with specialities they also hold a sweepstakes - again signing up by classes. I like the specialities because have the option to do to different competitions at one show. And from experience, since they are different judges....it can/is different winners. Good luck.....I think specialities are fun!

| ![]() Dee, you will love the specialty show. There are usually many beautiful yorkies at them and sometimes lots of puppies. I have seen puppies win major points at specialty shows too. Good luck to you. |

| ![]() My girl, Paddy was indeed entered last year in Louisville. It was her first show, and mine(with a Yorkie). She did win a ribbon, and for her first time out, she did great. We entered her just like any other show. I must admit, I was so new, and a little nervous, I let Becki take her in for me. It was a great time, I learned a lot, actually I was able to have Maria K-C, look over Paddy and give me some wonderrul advice with her. We have since learned a lot more, not sure I would do it the same way again.....because NOW I really know what I am doing...LOL. But, it was a fun day be all, and I was thrilled to see all the wonderful yorkies, instead of being on the sidelines, like I had been for nearly 3 years.... It was a fun time....but, remember, everyone is there to win.......so keep that in mind. Its serious business, that is for sure....but, well worth it! Good luck Dee |

| ![]() Thanks everyone. I probably will go to the show every day. I live an hour away so no hotel fees or anything. I don't expect to win anything over the big handlers, but they do all put their show clothes on the same I way I do. LOL I just want the experience and the chance to see all the beautiful dogs. AND, if I am lucky, I can get someone to evaluate Cash. With all those champions in the front end of his pedigree, he ought to have it in his blood. He goes on lead like a dream. We are still working on the baiting tho so he will look the judge in the eye. ![]() |
