Where are the stickies?? Ok now when you go to the general area, the sick and injured, and the breeders section there are stickies for people new to read. So I am looking to show at some point and wanted to begin the learning process but there are no stickies!!:eek: So what does a newbie do? Ask the experienced exhibitors of course. Could link the threads for us new people .... or are there any? Grooming/topknots Puppy training Stacking Leads Best products for coats, travel, tables, covers, bows, etc...all of them All products needed (types also listed..such as brushes..what kinds and sizes) Baits that work Lead types that are needed Extras that make show life easier Books to read Videos that are helpful PS Admin...could you sticky these here?? I have signed up for a conformation that start in Sept. Is this for me or the puppy or both? What do I need? What to expect? Thanks again |

I do not have a mentor. So I figured I would try to get some courses here to begin with and then go to the classes. The lady that does the classes has shown and comes with lots of recommendations. Just was wondering why there are no stickies here in the showing section when there are in the other ones.... :mad: Guess I will go through them page by page looking for the topics...:) |

Each mentor makes their decision to mentor a person based on different criteria. I would only provide such information to someone that I'm mentoring. Mentoring is a big responsibility. |

I didn't have a mentor when I first started....but, a lot of research on my own on how one goes about it. Attending shows is the best way to finding a mentor, joining breed clubs. Contacting officers of breed clubs. The information is out there.....you just have to do the work. |

I am not trying to cut corners, but I also am making the effort to find the information. Mentors do not fall out of the sky and I need to get some knowledge prior to that step. There is a show here in Sept that I plan on attending. I have a few names of exhibitors from my state be it they are about 2 hours away. I have contacted one person who did give me some names and will go from there. One of the names is a person who is in the next town, and being from this area I have seen some of her dogs and read some reviews on her breeding practices and from that would not have her mentor me in anything for sure. But I was posting about this here thinking that some of the experienced people might know where certain threads are. Just as there are for people looking for a puppy. How to find a good breeder. Cpr for dogs, etc. I just feel that there should be stickies to help find some of the basic info and some reviews of the gotta haves and dont waste your money ones too. |

However, if one doesn't have the where with all to attend dog shows to find such a mentor, saying they are not close to dog shows, speaks volumes to me. They won't put the effort into dog showing. I agree not everyone started out with a mentor, however, they quickly found out that without one they weren't going to get anywhere. I will say that there is information on how to obtain a mentor....what to look for. There's plenty of articles in the Yorkie Magazines on what to look for. What I will say is that we are looking for good people to mentor, but there are few newbies that really have the qualities that will do the best for the breed. Remember mentors look into newbies heart. |

I have done some homework and I need to do alot more. That was why I came to this section and began looking. I just wanted to know why no stickies with some general information to start out. I just did not realize that that question would lead to that??:confused: guess I should not be surprised...:( |
