Effective May 2009, a handler may not show to a a judge and then, within 4 months, handle for that judge. This isn't in the printed Guidelines book...it's the "pink insert." This is a policy, not a rule, but we all know that AKC considers policies and guidelines to be rules...the only difference is that the Board can put policies and guidelines into effect with no delegate input. Anyway, the policy only became effective, as I said, in May of this year, so wouldn't apply to Joan anyway........but yes, if you want to use Grace as a handler at Riverside, she can't show to Dave this weekend. It's as if AKC is seriously trying to kill dog shows...........the Board comes up with one ridiculous idea after another.....like this Grand Champion idea. What a stupid joke THAT is........ I guess Michael Cheeks, come to think of it, won't be showing dogs anymore, after what happened to him last time he tried it... Well, maybe he'll keep showing...but he can't judge for most of the year, with this ridiculous rule. Neither can any judge who is still showing, unless willing to do his/her own handling. And if you co-own a dog with Dave, you can't show to him at all..........but you know that. Peggy ----- Original Message ----- From: <ELG440@xxxxxxx>> > This came up at our shows this weekend.
