This is very true, and if that show dog needs a pro, you would be expected to arrange and pay for a pro handler.

Mardelin makes a good point. PartPixie - are you wanting a pet that you think looks like a show dog? Or are you looking for a show prospect? That is why I suggested just calling the breeders to explain what you are looking for, but your posts are confusing.

Also, one has to keep in mind breeder/exhibitors breed for themselves first so, unless they have a dog in the ring at that point in time and a couple waiting in the wings....they aren't breeding and if they are they would be keeping the best of the best for themselves.

Exactly! I can't imagine either of the ladies letting a true show prospect go to the OP (no offense PartPixie

). Just not how it works. Now a nice looking puppy? Different story.

All I asked for is a little baby girl. I know these breeders have the best reputation for beautiful, healthy well bred dogs. I have had yorkies in my life for 26 yrs. Had 2 from great breeders and 1 from pet store and one from ad in paper. Vickilyn was highly recommended by my groomer/friend Barb. All I want is a healthy, happy well bred baby to spoil and share my life with.

It sounds like you are the perfect mommy! I'm sure they must be so happy to have a nice home to place a pet.

Yes and the very good ones, will want to see and assess you over time. And I'm talking at least a few years. The show world is a very small world indeed.
Believe you me the really experienced ones, notice everything. What shape you bring your Yorkie into the grooming area. How you interact with your dogs, how you train, how you groom. How you interact with all and sundry. The questions you ask, the questions you don't ask. How your dog matures under your care. The advice you follow or (don't). The handlers you use.

When they met you at breeding seminars, or in the training ring, they notice.

To receive a top quality dog, one has to pay their dues on a number of fronts. Quite simply why wouldn't a breeder keep the "best" of their "best" for themselves to show, and breed? If one is very very lucky, in a litter there maybe two such dogs. Or two out of two litters.

Thanks everyone, I am very excited, and have prolly bugged Vickilyn enough!

How about 1 in 6 litters......

Yes, actually I am very aware of that and am fortunate enough to be in a postion that a handler is not an unreasonable expense. I just hope to be able to do it myself.
