| Dog shows in Oklahona??? I am interested in attending a dog show in Oklahoma and meeting some reputable Yorkie breeders/showers. Can anyone help steer me in the right direction? I did a google search and it just shows one in the summer, for a 3-day show. I would think there would be more than that. . .? Thanks! |

| Thank you!! I will check those websites and will definitely make plans to attend the show next weekend. I have never attended a dog show before. I want to meet YT owners/breeders. Will I be able to do that at the show? Are the owners "approachable"? |

They're pretty busy and preoccupied before and during the show and to some may appear to be unapproachable (don't let that throw you). But, after the show, they are more than willing to answer your questions.

Ok. Thanks! I am making plans to attend. You say Yorkies are showing at 9:45. Does that mean that they block out a time for a specific breed? Will they not show Yorkies in the afternoon on Friday? Sorry to be asking so many novice questions. | |

Don't be sorry, we were all novices once. Just a little lesson in how they are shown and what order 1 . Dogs 6-9 months 2. Dogs 9-12 months- 3. Dogs 12-18 months 4. Dogs Bred By Exhibitor 5. Open Dogs The winners from each class go back in for winners Dog (points towards championship). Then the females go in in the same order as above. Once that is determined all dogs that have already Championed and Winners Dog and Winners Bitch go back into the ring to compete for Best of Breed, Best of Opposite and Best of Winners. The Dog that wins Best of Breed advances on to the Group Ring, if they place 1st in the Group Ring they advance on to Best in Show. A little confusing until you do it a few times. Hope that helps

| Excellent information. Thank you so much. I would have been completely lost without your help! I am excited about going next Friday. Hopefully I can go Saturday as well. The "show bug" will probably bite me and I'll then be an addict! |
