I was recently in a dog show handling my own dog in a ring with only myself and the rest professional handlers. My dog looked far better than the others and reached out further. They could not keep up with me and they all looked bad by comparison. It was a great win, and then I woke up... Dave ________________________________ I personally feel most dogs handled by professionals perform and look better. That's why I hire a handler. It's why I hire a CPA to do my taxes, also. When I tried to handle my own dogs the dog would look up at me and not move out, shortening up their front. Not to mention that I couldn't move around the ring at the speed to make my dogs look their best.
