I'M GOING TO A DOG SHOW!!!!!!!
I'm so excited. I can't wait. It's weekend after next, the 12th and 13th. The entrance fee is just $3 per adult. There is a Yorkie show both days at 12:30. Glenn and I will be going to the one on Sat. by ourselves, so I don't have to be distracted by the kids. Then depending on what I learn the kids may get to go on Sun. I'm so excited! We went to pay our morgage payment and there in the window was a sign for an AKC dog show! I couldn't believe it! I thot it must be advertising for up in Kansas City or St. Louis area. But it's not. It's not more than 45 minutes from us, we live down by Branson. Probably less but I'm not sure. The lady we give our payments to is running it for both days. She shows Yorkies!!! I didn't even know she had Yorkies! She didn't know I had Yorkies! She thot I wanted to show one of my babies but I promptly disabused her of that notion. Not until I get a look at what is out there. I keep reading things that say you don't know what you have until you see the dogs in the shows. Autumn might be ring worthy. I'm sure I don't know and my "mentor", hmm, not so sure I trust her judgement. LOL

If you want more info pm me or email me at: LadyofYorkies@msn.com

I'm so excited!!! Sylvia

There is a dog show this week-end (Nov. 5th and 6th) as well in Gray Summit, MO. I will be there with a couple of my Biewers as well as one or two of my Yorkies. Any one interested in handling Harmony for me in the ring??? Harmony and Homer go in the same age group and I can't show both of them at once...

We've only been in Mo for 3 years, where is Grey Summit from Springfield? Do you know how much it costs? Does your handler need to have experience? I have no experience but I hope to show in the future. Sylvia

Sylvia, unlike AKC this show is based primeraly on the dogs and whether they meet their standard or not. It is not based on the handler . We get written critques on the dogs, which with AKC you lose you don't know why.

The judges are all AKC and CKC (canadian), so you know they know dogs~~no mom and pop judges.

If you can stack your Yorkie and if the yorkie will walk with you on a lead, that is all you need with IABCA. The reason these two things are important so they can judge the dogs confirmation. The dog also shouldn't mind being touch by a stranger and won't mind showing their teeth.

I am not real sure where all the towns are in MO either, Gray Summit is just out of St. Louis, MO, Six Flags is in Gray Summit. So if this is in traveling distance come on down I would love to meet you and I can help you as much as possible.. There are four shows for each breed. Two on Saturday and Two on Sunday, unless you win then you move up to BIS ect... Let me know if I can help you any further....

Sorry, Sue. Looks like we can't afford it this weekend. I was really ready to do it too. I am so anxious to go to a show I almost can't sit still. LOL Sylvia

Hmmmm, I guess Ohio is a litttlllle far to come for a dog show. LOL All I can tell you is keep looking in your area and keep talking to people. Someone, somewhere, sometime will know the facts and give them to you. Sylvia
