This was a topic of discussion recently on another list. The "professional" handler and the owner knew the dog (not a GSD) was finished with winning a 4pt major, showed him the next day to ANOTHER 4 pt. major, and then the following weekend for another 4pt major. When asked why, the handler said "the dog may be finished but I am not finished with the dog". Understandably the owner of the dog that went Reserve to this dog for those "extra" majors was upset! The argument was that this is allowed by AKC. In my opinion it's a matter of ethics and good sportsmanship!
