Wanted - Show Quality Yorkie Male or Female
 

I am looking for foundation stock. Must be strongly linebred with parents OFA'd stifle joints. Young adult with some show training preferred. Will also consider a finished champion.

I will sign a reasonable show contract.

Please send pm.

Show yorkies

I'm looking for show quality.

I know that she does lots of shows and has been successful. What more do you want? :rolleyes:

Have you gone to the dog shows and approched breeders/show people of the yorkies you like in the ring? That is a great place to start. Approach them after they are finished in the ring though. Once they see you at shows - they will know you are serious, so don't be surprised if you are turned down at first. Also join a local dog club in your area. That is also a great way for people to know you. You can also check out the show wins through the AKC event link of previous shows online. P.S. It will be a little easier purchasing a show quality male than female. It didn't state which sex you wanted, so I guess it didn't matter.
Best of luck! :)

I am a very experienced breeder and have finished 15 champions with a herding breed. I am new to yorkies. This board has an international membership and I am hoping to expand my search area.

I'm laughing now at your question if I've gone to dog shows. I could've put a kid through college in what I've spent on entries alone, but thanks for being helpful.

You can also try here www.thefurkids.com . She isn't cheap but you get what you pay for and she has show quality with good lines. If she doesn't have what you're looking for she may know of someone who does.

Show Yorkie
 

This is exactly how I started! I went to as many shows as I could and I talked to as many show/breeders as possible! Honestly most of them are there to help you, there are just a few that would rather not bother with you.. Yes wait until they are done showing before you approach them.. But first and foremost they have to know they can trust YOU with their hardwork!! ;) I would also suggest that if you have a show breeder that lives somewhat close to you give them a call and see if they would be interested in helping mentor you..

Good Luck!

I really appreciate the efforts to be helpful, but PLEASE only pms from serious show breeders.

I stated in the heading that it can be a male or female.

Best of luck to you in your search. :)

Yes...best of luck! :zip:

Yes, you did state sex - soooooooo sorry. I was reading the message words, not title. My mistake. I quess I have been on YT talk too long today.
Best of luck in your search. ;)

IMHO- unless you share all the information- people do not know that you are so experienced in the show ring and as a breeder of herding dogs. We have many newbies who post a interest in wanting show quality- and know nothing of the basics. We try and answer their questions to help them not to provide them with a source of laughter at our expense.

If you contact me and do not share that you are so experienced in the show and breeding field I will also take you as a newbie. If you do not provide all the information- you can not be gave the correct answers.

Would suggest that you contact the YTCA website. They may be able to help you with the contact information of breeders in your areathat is posted. Regardless of your being a "very experienced show/breeder" you will have to contact show breeders. They are not sitting out there just waiting to sell you the show and breeding stock that they have.

I am sure that with all the Champions that you have finished potential clients came to you- you did not go to them.

You made the comment on another post on here when gave a link to a fellow
memeber- that you wanted show quality. Does this mean that the dogs at her site do not meet your standards? What are you stating about this memeber? Have you spoke with this member or seen her dogs in person.

There are people on this forum I like and those I do not care for. There are those who do not like me as a person. We have respect for each others dogs and do not make any type of inuendos as to someones quality of stock.

There are numerous breeders in your area and handlers at the shows- I am amazed that you did not work with any of them in finding your Ideal yorkie.
Have you gone to a Specialty Show or Westminster? Both of those allow you to see bloolines from all over the US. The Mt. Rainier Specialty Club held is specialty show this past October 5- that would have been a great place for you to have made contacts in your area.


I still find the dog shows a great place for looking. You can see the real thing not a picture-watch the animal move- look at temperment-
see the texture of the coat.

What bloodlines are you looking at? There are so many different bloodlines and as the breeders on here can tell you- they have a distinct look to each of them. That is why we do not all have dogs from the same person. I have four males and each one of them meets the standard and each one is a different as night and day.


Good Luck in your quest

welcome
 

Welcome...It really does not matter how many champions of one breed you have finished. You are a novice to Yorkies and need to start at shows.. There you will meet the kind of people you want to buy a prospect from..go to the source. Best wishes
