YT 2000 Club Donating Member | ![]() She's so pretty. It looks like you do a great job on the topknot too!. How old is your girl? Her coat is so long! Is she over 18 months? Razzle goes into 12-18 months I'm afaird that I'm still pretty bad at it. ![]() |

Ears - if you trim the hair on the front a back before their bath and then wait and do the scissoring for after the bath when the ears are wet it is easier. You can see the skin of the ears when they are wet and less likely to cut the skin. You can also see the shape of the ear skin better too. I had to practice a lot too to get the topknot up right. I am still practicing. What a lot of work, especially on a moving head. Puppies are really hard, since they are not use to being still and want to watch everyone go by at a show. He he he. ![]() | |

| ![]() Tina, CiCi is georgeous. All of the puppies on this thread are beautiful. Hopefully, they are all winners in the ring. I hope that you enjoy the motorhome also. Sounds like lots of room. How old are your other pups waiting to show? Kristen, I don't understand points too much. If your puppy won his class, why didn't he get points? Please explain. Thanks. Roseanne, thanks for the pointers on the tail. I also like the term "sparkle" in the next post. 99% of the time, Sasha's tail is up. Never when I have the camera. lol. In conformation class, the first time around the ring, her tail is down, second time, her tail is halfway up, third time it is a happy tail. I told the teacher, that we would have to be at a show a couple hours ahead of time, just so that Sasha would have time to have a look around and get comfortable. Wouldn't want to wear her out though. What do you all do to get your puppies comfortable at the show when it is their first time showing? |

Thank you. I have Cha-Cha that is 9 months old and Trey that is just over a year. They were shown in puppy classes and did really well, just no points. Kristen, won her classes, but no points since her dog would have to beat all the others for that sex (against all the dogs, or the bitches depending on what sex they were). It is really tough to beat the older yorkies. A puppy can, but is really rare. Here are the classes you have for dogs and bitches each seperately: 6-9 months, 9-12 months, 12 - 18 months, Novice, Amateur-Owner-Handler, Bred-By, American-bred, and Open. Each class goes in to compete against the others in that class. Then the winners of each class go in to compete against one another to get Winners Dog and Winners Bitch. They are the ones that win the points. Then the others compete again for Reserves. No points for Reserves, but if by chance later if the winners dog or bitch (in your class) that won gets disqulaified for something, usually problems with registrations, then the Reserves gets the points. Each sex competes seperately until you go in to compete for Best of Breed - which includes all champions that are being Specialed, Winners Dog, Winners Bitch. This is also the ones competing for Winners and Best of Opposite Sex. I hope this all makes sense. You will know better once you are competing. As you can see getting an AKC championship is tough, especially winning those majors! To get them use to the show, I practice before ring time at the show too. And make it fun for them. Usually the more you take them the more comfortable they feel. Also my handler trains them too. They are the ones that do the magic for me. Last edited by topknot; 10-25-2009 at 06:27 AM. | |

| ![]() Thanks, and congrats on finishing so many of your yorkies. I agree, a motor home should be fun and a lot easier at the shows. Good luck.

| ![]() Cici's coat is really beautiful! While she was growing up, did you allow her to play with the other puppies and dogs? The length of facial hair on Cici looks like you kept her nicely wrapped and maybe not too much rough-housing with other puppies. Facial hair is the bane of my existence right now. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

She has a really good silky coat and I don't even wrap her facial hair. I place a topknot band in and that is all on the face/head. I found out with her, it was best not to wrap this area. Now I do wrap her coat. Each dog though is different and depending on their coat, determines how many wraps, where, etc... I would just use a good leave in condition in the facial areas after bathing and leave it alone. That is what I do for Cici. But your baby may need something else. Each dog is so different. | |

| ![]() Thanks for the information. You are right, they are all different. I haven't wrapped him at all yet. Holding off on everything -- but you know how exciting it is when their coat really starts to grow. I'm looking forward to it. ![]()

| ![]() I really messed up my Jazz's topknot by leaving a scrunchie in and by letting him play with pups. Before I knew it, they had really done a number on it. Now I am just putting come Royal Coatalin in his facial hair and it is finally growing back. I heard they quit making the Coatalin so I will be ordering the Vellus Satin Cream that someone recommended to me. I have had several show breeders tell me not to put the topknot up, just use the conditioner. Live and learn. Katelin, I think you are doing great with Paparazzi's coat. It has grown so much since you first got him. |

| ![]() Thanks Barbara. Good luck with Jazz' top knot. It's always something isn't it.

Well I now bring Razzle early (now we've only been to 3 shows together so...) I walk him around some. If a ring is empty and I'm allowed to go in there I'll walk him around the ring. How-ever I think what works the best is if you aren't stressed out and nervous - our Yorkies are just so attuned to us that they will pick up on that. I'll play with him some - give him treats to get him focussed on me, then I'll start the pre show grooming. I like it when the judge immediately has us go around the ring - it tends to settle us both down. ![]() I usually get to ring now about 50 - 60 minutes before I'm due in Gail in ONtario | |
