I was just really upset that this was that person and I am not going to say anything else I have apoligized I should not have said anything but it really upset me when I thought this was the Amber from Salt Lake City Utah one of the people she scamed was a friend. for the record I did try and call her several times she had called me and I was trying to contact her back and we where in and out of the area and my phone was not working but I do not need to explain myself again I am so sorry if I have offended anyone.

Ok! To answer your question.....and it's going to be a bit windy.

Dog Showing is a sport. There are some guidelines. Men, slacks, shirt, tie and jacket. Women, skirts, dresses, slacks....jackets....nice business attire. However, you must remember that you dress to show off your dog.....not distracting from it's presentation. Colors that show off it's color/structure. You are the back drop for your dog....flowy skirts are a detractent. No dangly flashy, loud sounding jewelery......there are pieces of jewelery that can be used to show off your dogs attributes...but, will explain that later. Shoes should be flat, comfortable, with no sound. You don't want your dog or anyone elses dog to be spoofed by your shoes making noise.

When trying on your clothes that your purchasing for the ring. Bend; look at your behind in the mirror......kneel and get up and make sure you aren't providing a different show.....

You will find the simpler, tailored clothes and hairstyles are best, you won't have much time for yourself, after getting a dog ready....so you want your clothes to be attractive, wrinkle proof, and long lasting.....


OF THE HUNDREDS OF YORKIE BREEDERS I KNOW, NONE OF THEM WOULD EVER ADVERTISE PUPPIES ON WEB SITES SERVERS LIKE YORKIETALK USES.
The very best of breeders have waiting lists for their puppies and therefore have no need to ever advertise puppies for sale. Also good reputable breeders will not ship puppies to people they've never met.

That's not to disparage YorkieTalk since they have no control over the ads that appear on the advertising banners. Their only control would be to spend money for server space that doesn't use advertising to supplement the cost of the service.

So its ok to wear dress slacks? I am 6ft tall and most dresses are just too short on me! I really dont want to offer a different kind of show! LOL!

Absolutely, it's about the only thing I wear. With a sweater, blouse (dependent on the Season) and a jacket that covers my bum......

Actually slacks have pockets and belt loops, great for attaching bait bags.....stuffing things in.....squeeker toys, little spray bottles of this and that and of course your brush pushed into your belt.....

Some of the great old time breeders still wear skirts, it was what was acceptable and what they were taught when they first started out. You see Doreen Hubbard and Lorraine Hayes in skirts all the time.....I for one don't have great legs like they do....and I'm not very graceful getting up from my knees.

So very true!! JMO, i would question a breeder that did advertise, there are so many with great websites, it makes you wonder WHY they even need to advertise them to begin with, if they are the best of the best....WORD OF MOUTH IS THE BEST ADVERTISING and it's FREE???? Just saying, JMO!!!

Ok, are colors important? I mean, should i wear light colors or dark?? Which seem to be better? My aunt is a seemstress and I am going to have her make me a nice pant suit...

I usually always wear slacks with an easy comfortable shirt and then a jacket. This way I can take the jacket off while getting my dog/s ready for the ring. It does tend to get warm in the grooming area. So you need to be able to be confortable, but nicely done. Here is a photo of one of my outfits. Hmmm... got to do something with that double chin when I look down. Oh, yea - wear comfortable flat shoes. That is one thing - I cannot find pretty... comfortable flat shoes. But at least we all look the same in the shoe department. You can tell a newbie if they show up in heels. LOL!

It's all dependent on the color of your yorkie....dark steel blue or on the lighter side....you want to show off the dog......I try not to wear red slacks because at times it casts red onto the dogs coat.....I tend to stay with black slacks and colored tops....no prints....Again always remember you are a back drop for the dog....you want to call as little attention to yourself......the dog should appear to be doing it all alone. And remember when your dog wins....you will be having pictures taken on a table....so your dog will be at your chest level.....color is important to remember

Light colors tend to get dirty fast, since the show areas can be dusty and lots of dog hair. I like black, red shirt with dark jacket, and just go this brown outfit, since it fits. Normally I do not like brown.

Ok so if I get like a black suit, and just wear different colored pretty shirts with it thats ok?

Tina, I've found Etigne Shoes-Don't know if you have a Stien Mart....but they're sold there. Soft leather....flat, flat....Now I do have a pair of Sesto Meducci shoes, that I've had forever...that I wear too.....I very rarely change my shoes....Have a pair of egg crates....great shoes...but, not that pretty. The ones I hate are those darn garden looking shoes that they're wearing now.....The only time I get fancy is a Specialty or New York

Great, black, gray, tan.....just as long as you are showing off your dog. If your dog has a dark steel blue coat....black doesn't happen to show of the dog's topline very well....switch to gray. The only person that could wear white always look like a lady and keep clean was Roberta Rothenbach.

thank you all for answering my questions! I will look at getting a couple different colors
