Here is a link to the judging schedule for those of you who might not know about the shows. http://www.onofrio.com/jp/RCIS1JP.pdf The YTCA specialty will be on Wednesday, July 13, in San Antonio, Texas. This show will be held in conjunction with a lot of other shows running from Wednesday through Sunday. There are lots of yorkies entered. On Wednesday the Toy Club is holding their show first. The yorkies show at 9 a.m. Their are 67 yorkies entered. Then at 1 p.m. the yorkie specialty will start. There are 83 yorkies entered. Best of luck to all my yorkies friends that are showing!!!!

| I'll be there! London is entered in every show all five days. Should be a lot of fun and tiring too. Looking forward to the Roving and seeing all the beautiful Yorkies!

| I won't be able to be there for this one since I planned to go to Houston for the Specialty in August. However my boy Lance (Little T's Royale) will be there showing and hopefully finishing his championship. Wishing everyone luck and I hope to see many of you in Houston.

I have to admit, I'm pretty disapointed with the results from the National and toy/all breed shows going on right now. I couldn't understand the judging and there didn't seem to be any consistency in the winners. I've seen Jackpot in person and I just cant understand the hype. He's a nice dog but there is nothing "above and beyond about him." IMHO I think he has the minimum qualities any Yorkie should have if the are going to be campaigned. Also, his coat seems to be silver in the middle and black on the sides. I don't see the blue. When I watched the video of Westminster I was a bit appalled at his movement too. I watched the video of the national yesterday and there were some good dogs in it but the overall quality wasnt at the par of say, the New York show. I was quite shocked to see how many dogs there had off toplines. In my experience, I've always been told that second to coat, the most basic thing a dog should have is a level topline. Anyways, that is just my $0.02. | |

| Oh, one more thing. I watched L. Hays walk Jackpot and I must say that I was extremely impressed with the way she walks him! She was kind and gentle with him. That dog looked at her and never took his eyes off of her. There was NO pulling, dragging, or jerking. It was a pleasure to see someone who loves her dog as much as the dog loves her. It was obvious that the Jackpot wanted to perform and please her. After watching some of the professional handlers walk their clients' dogs - I'd be very careful choosing one. Several had puppies that they were literally dragging around. Some of the same ones were walking older dogs and were pulling up on the leash so hard their front legs were up off the ground and their heads/necks were held up too high - which I believe isn't good for their throats. It actually upset me watching them! And these are well known handlers!!! To be honest - the best handlers were the owner/handlers - hands down!
