| I didn't see anything wrong with the color at that age She's got nice color. She didn't look to dark too me at least in the picture. That's why I say pictures aren't always the best in trying to get opinions LOL |

LOL See That proves it!!! I have absolutely no idea what I'm doing.LOL Seriously I have so much to learn. I have some great mentors in my club here in Houston. They just nominated me to the Board of Directors and have helped me so much. They know how dedicated I am to the Yorkshire Terrier breed. I am grateful and honored to serve. For now I have my new boy Reve, maybe Shyloh will come through for me and I am on the hunt for another show prospect. I want another baby after the holidays. I have been researching and watching for over 2 years now. It's time for me to get my feet wet and get out there. Only one way to learn. I really respect the dedication it takes to acheive a championship but I'm quite aware it is not an easy task. If it was easy everyone would be doing it. I have learned so much by attending show after show but I want to have my dog in the ring. But I also know that as much as I learned....there is a ton I still need to learn. SOoo with that said, I'll just keep working...

| Pam, first off I have to say your girl is really pretty. I have to agree with most of what the others have said. She does look a little down faced but sometimes the angle of the camera can make it look that way too, especially if she is looking down. In the first group of pictures her topline looks good, her rear legs are stretched out pretty good. In the second set of pictures the 2nd and 4th picture she appears a little higher in the rear, shoulders are lower but her rear legs are not stretched out as much. You need really study her movement and see if she is moving level. If you have a video camera and can have someone video you moving her on a lead with head up that will tell you a lot. As for the ears, my Yogi has similar ears. When he is alert his ear set looks beautiful but if he is tired or unhappy (like in the show ring) he will let his ears down. If your girl has a good attitude and will be alert in the ring it might not hurt her too much. Like the other ladies said, these are just observations and to really tell one would have to see her in person. Just remember, none of them are perfect. I am really excited for you getting into showing. I think you will do just fine. |

| Yes, he is oversized. He is a nice boy but not perfect that is for sure. I showed a little bitch puppy a couple of times too but she did not pan out. That's the way it goes sometimes. Live and learn. |

| Then I do remember LOL...I hope you aren't still breeding him with being oversized....I can agree with breeding a bitch that is alittle bigger but I'd be afraid to breed a bigger sized male....I thought you had only shown two yorkies...as I get older my memory fails but I guess I still got it LOL....I thought I remember you showing a bitch at one time...wasn't that about 3 years ago? |

| Well Shyloh is 5.9lbs, she is a solid girl. When I get that coat going again and have her some conformation classes under her belt, I'll repost her pics and maybe a video. She will be 2 in April of next year and we'll see where she's at then. Like I said Shyloh loves to please so I think that is in her favor.

I guess you don't have much show experience if you have only shown two yorkies but maybe that will change when you get the funds to actively start showing. I don't mind a big yorkie and what I mean by big is up on leg if they are over 7 1/2 pounds they shouldn't be bred that is pet quality in my opinion but again that is just how I practice and was taught. Of course I don't breed unless I"m breeding for the show ring and not the pet population LOL | |

I know your reason for showing Krissy (beautiful lil girl). We brought Tahlulah and her out at the same time. Both were small......Tahlulah grew.....to 5 1/2 pounds....Krissy decided to stay a forever puppy. I know you had high hopes for her, since everything about her was there. It's tough when one breeds in a limited scale, for themselves in hopes for that next Champion. I know now why Lee was so tough on me, making me finish several Champions before I went near the whelping box. She was developing my eye. Making me learn everything I could.....knowing that I needed all the experience in the ring before I would ever be able to evaluate a dog with any sort of expertise.

For me I didn't feel I knew enough about anything until I got in the ring and began winning consistently and had a couple of Champions under my belt....

This is such a hard breed to judge and whew can be very complicated for the show ring. Again, as we've stated many times the only way to really know what is right for the ring is to be out there and do and watch at the shows. Donna | |
