come to think of it I've don't recall meeting you Barb. Either you showed way before my time, or after I left Texas a couple of years back.....Although, I don't think I'll really ever leave Texas, I keep on going back.

| Mary, I have not shown anything in nearly two years but I like to go to some of the local shows to watch. I really enjoyed going to the Houston Specialty. I have a couple of 6 month old girls I am watching but it will be next year before I can show them. Hopefully I will get to meet you some day too. I have met Donna at lots of shows and she has always been nice and helpful. |

| I have a question, is it acceptable to go up to a judge after the show and ask them why they did not put up your dog? When we use to show St. Bernards, one of exhibitors would always get mad if he lost and he would go talk to the judge and ask the judge why he did not win. I always thought it was childish and showed he was not a gracious looser. Is that something that is acceptable or common practice. |

Thanks Bjh! Yes, yorkies are a lot different than the other breeds. So much can go wrong on a pup as it reaches adulthood and then not finish. I believe it is one of the hardest breed to show. Grooming is very hard on a yorkies and may take years to learn. This is why some with practice on a nice yorkie and then wehn they have learned how, get a fantastic one for showing. I just have the knack for growing coat, but I have to give the credit to my yorkies since they have great coats. Keep practicing and trying and someday you may get there. It takes a lot of work and determination, but one can do it if they try. Best of luck! | |

But once you get there at the shows you will be glad you made the effort and expense to go. I like showing my younger ones too, so I have them evaluated. It gives me a clearer picture of how they are developing and not just coming from my own opinion. You ought to go. You will have fun!! | |

The best training ground is the ring....you can train and train outside the ring......but, the real proof is when you get them in. Anyway, you can't finish in your own backyard and preferect your own presentation skills until you get in the ring yourself....one must travel......
