New York Show in Feb?

[Mardelin]

If it had been me sitting as a spectator and that close to an exhibitor, I'd have politely tapped her on the shoulder and whispered in her ear as to what was being revealed.

That would be the sportsman like and lady like thing to do.

Btw, although this is a public forum, it does have RULES.

One of them is that members refrain from denigrating YorkieTalk.

WELL, I was there and all I can say is..........."OOOOHHHH what beautiful Yorkies" I can say I was probably one of the most observant people in the gallery. I watched and took notes and took video of the Yorkies and handlers. If I watched a handler it was in an effort to learn their techniques and see what they used on the coats. I learned soooo much and it was such an incredible experience. What someone wore did not even come to mind unless I was admiring a little bling on a jacket. I think our focus should be the Yorkies and handler's abilities. There were some fantastic handlers. I was impressed!

Congratulations on your win.....nothing like placing in the ribbons at the National.

One needs to learn that there is more than just showing your dog. There are written and unwritten rules for being a good spectator too (especially if you are also an exhibitor). Taking a picture of someone in a not so favorable light (even it names weren't mentioned or faces revealed) at a National Specialty is not a way to ingratiate yourself in the Dog World and it will not be forgotten easily. I've already received calls from YTCA members asking me about it.

Thanks Mary. It's been so much fun showing this little boy, I'll almost be sorry to see him finish.

It's always that way. You've got a puppy that is real show potential, spend hours, conditioning, training, grooming and loads of money showing them. Then the day the Champion you are so excited and at the same time walk out of the ring saying to yourself, now what.....and so you start all over again.

It's what you went for. Sounds like you had a ball.

Hi Pam! It was so nice meeting you and Gail at the shows. I wish I had more time to chat, but it was soooo busy there. I am exhausted. Setting up the rings, cleaning up, raffles and then showing, too! It was a lot of work but I had the best time I've had in a long time. Stopped at Westminster to say hi to Donna with Radar, Trish and Stacey with Talker, Pumpkin (Durrer's OOhs & Ahhs - I think)- what a great bunch of people at the top of their game and so nice, too! (bad with names- hope I got them right) Saw Lisa and her dog, but did not get a chance to say hi - so busy, so crowded! I hope to see some of you at a specialty in the future. I would love to go to another in one of the other parts of the country. Congrats to all the winners and placements!

If I knew who the handler was I would speak up about it.

I couldn't make out the class. She was wearing a shirt under her jacket, it was the same color. The same material as a turtleneck. Although you couldn't see a turtleneck. They were pink or coral. Probably red, the picture is quality was poor. The jacket was quilted. I think we see a lot of red & black. But not much red on red or pink/pink or coral/coral. If it wasn't red.

She was a petite nicely dressed women.

Elle, OK you won! lol
Looks like I have no voice here...
Mnneee...Who knew we have no freedom of speech here...
Anyhow! This is the reason I got blocked (with a lowbrow) and I don't think I should come back...
I believe we live in a free and liberated country. This is an unaltered image and something that I saw and cared to share. "Don't shoot the messenger." The woman chose to dress like this and show her butt crack. I merely documented it. Since when did this become a communist forum?


My best wishes!

Wow rather inflammatory statement. Communist forum? I deeply doubt that what was shared here hardly qualifies as communist.

REally it is quite simple would you want your butt displayed for all to see on a public forum? Why would you care to share this? The immediate reason that comes to my mind is to humilate a show person, under the guise of perhaps humor?

I hardly think the woman chose to show her butt crack!. I have personally slipped and fell in the show ring.. I've seen woman who had inadvertenly had their skirt hiked up ... and in that case she was quietly informed about it by.. another show exhibitor in the ring with her. I went into a ring once with my front zipper undone and the show steward again discreetly let me know that.

Good grief , showing is hard enough in itself, mistakes happen, no-one expects that their errors would be showcased for all to see.

I can only hope perhaps forlornely that you have got the message. The gratuitious portrayal of another's mistake in any venue is not an acceptable action.

...

I'm sorry!
I was born in "communist" country...
By moving in the US I thought it's over and I do have a freedom of speech...
I'm not trying to offend anyone! I'm just a messenger!
I truly don't understand what is going on, but kind of feel hurt...
Thank you for your understanding.

You did offend.....Yes, this is the US where freedoms are given us. You had the freedom/choice not to humilate a fellow citizen, you chose otherwise. Not a way to ingratiate yourself into your adopted country or a sport you have chosen to participate in.
