If a GSD  cannot gait twice a day for about 5 minutes then something is wrong

of our  dogs.



Yes...isn't that the truth!  But not all of us do that, lololol.
But I brought the subject up to Ken, who this weekend for example, handled  
eight dogs each day, which was not a particularly heavy load, we have done 12  
each day, ugh......but it was tiring, and when you get a good judge, like the  
ones we had this weekend, that actually WORK the dogs, then the handlers who 
go  in class after class get kind of tired. Esp if the weather is warm or  the 
footing is not wonderful. Handlers may book waaay fewer dogs, which  May, 
mind you, only may cause entries to go down, esp for the second  show.  Just a 
thought 
 
Now imagine handling eight or ten dogs in two shows , same day.  I  know that 
the dogs, well most, will do fine, but I wonder about the humans  piloting 
them around the ring????  
I think whatever happens this will be an interesting test case.  There  is 
good and bad about the idea, and I for one will be very curious as to what  
will 
happen. It is a new idea, and I applaud the originality of it.
