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

I realize it was an enormous mistake to post my ad here.

I have moved on.

I don't want to criticize anyone's breeding, but a question was asked and I answered it. Do you really want a more detailed answer to this question? I don't know what association you have with this breeder, but she doesn't have what I'm looking for and that's all I wish to say. I will spend in excess of $17,000/year (plus entries) campaigning the dog I choose. It will be the foundation of my breeding program. I can afford to be very, very choosy and I am in no hurry.

BTW it's wrong to think I haven't been looking at Yorkies in the show ring. It's wrong to think I haven't been to the specialties, breed and toy. There's a cluster of specialites around Westminster that I will go to if I am able to travel. It's wrong to think that I haven't spoken with dozens of breeders, handlers, judges, veterinarians, and it's even wrong to think I've never handled the breed.

My only mistake was misunderstanding the nature of the members here.

If you don't have what I'm looking for, please move on.

If that is the case, then why on earth would you look on a forum? :eek:

Excellent question, but if you'll read my posts on this thread, I've already answered it.

Just one more thought on your post. It matters a great deal that I've finished champions to the breeders I'm talking with.

The Northwest has many reputable breeders in the show ring. Many have championed national and international bloodlines. Perplexing why these breeders haven't ingraciated your presents given your past accomplishments or at the very least offered guidance if you've attented shows.

I may add show breeders will not contact potential show breeders or novices to place a prized "show potential puppy." Trust must be established and an abundance of show/breeding knowledge must be evident. You must prove yourself to them, not them prove themself to you. A "show potential pup" placement or co-ownership agreement is not entered into on ego but based on mutual trust and respect.

God Bless

You're wrong. Word has gotten out that I'm interested in breeding Yorkies and I HAVE been contacted more than once.

Finding foundation stock is a tedious process and if I start with a mediocre, casually bred dog from a kennel with no reputation, I'll never live long enough to get to the garden which is my goal.

You said: A "show potential pup" placement or co-ownership agreement is not entered into on ego but based on mutual trust and respect."

Please stay off this thread. I don't need this.

God bless you too.

Sorry. You have entered a public forum. ;)

It feels more like Alice through the looking glass.

Coming to a public forum asking for "show breeders" to pm you, when you have already been in touch with some"great show breeders" is quite confusing. I know of a great show breeder, who has proven lines, chapions etc...However, passing her number a long to someone that might not be up to par is something I don't want to take a gamble on...Reputation means a lot. Maybe, if you can clear up some things, I would be more than willing to share her info with you!

JMHO -If that is how you feel about us. I am amazed and suprised that you would post your thread looking for a show male or female here on YT. JMHO- I would think that you would be looking at different venues for this show yorkie .

I have made repeated requests for members who do not have what I'm looking for to stay off this thread. I have not been here very long, but I've seen threads closed because of discussions that result from posts like yours and I was trying to avoid that. But honestly I'm sick of this and if you don't want to honor my requests and want to keep discussing my motives, then there's not much I can do. I've been warned to avoid offering private information on a forum such as this and I won't explain myself any more than I already have.

If this great breeder has nationally ranked, OFA'd stock, then I'd be happy to clear up anything you'd like; otherwise, thanks anyway.

Yes, she does!
