| Thanks guys. I have been looking and couldn't really find any good information. I did a research on shows here in Colorado through AKC and there is just nothing really. A few but not much, so I am going to have to do a lot of traveling to visiting states. Thanks again for the suggestions.

| Yes, I have the same issue here in Utah. It would take 10 years to ch a dog without traveling lol. I had pretty much decided to just do agility with my new baby, but now that she has reacted to shots I am not sure if I can even do that. (The places that give classes require all shots to be given, no titers).

If you haven't already, visit the AKC.org website and read their info on showing....lots of rules and regulations.

Why did she react to shots? Doesn't like them or allerigic?

| It was allergic, and only her second set of puppy shots so we have a ways to go to get her protected. I was thinking of getting a show pup, and having this pup do agility. Gave up on the conformation idea, now am discouraged about the agility as well. I am going to see the vet next week and I will ask him further about the vaccinations, maybe ask him to write a letter and ask the local clubs if they will accept the letter with titers? Beg them? Plead? Maybe they will let us do some private lessons or something I don't know. They also do conformation classes so in my dreams I was thinking I would have one dog for each. Now I will just see how it goes with agility and rethink conformation. Another thing you might want to think of is finding a mentor with something other than yorkies. Maybe look for another terrier or toy breed? I know there are some show poodles, whippets, and great danes in my area and they would help me if I asked. Not as useful, but helpful and definitely better than nothing. I hope showing will continue to become more popular in the West and make it easier to point a dog out here.

While it is an option, showing/grooming/training and the art of presenting a yorkie is much different than any other breed.
