No ethical handler would do something like that. When I was handling for a living, if a dog finished, you either moved him up or sent him home. If you continued to hold him (or her) in classes, and continued to win, it was a sure way to get your tires slashed or even wake up in an alley somewhere. Handlers (and other owners) will find a way to get even sooner or later. Legal, but totally unethical. A slap in the face to your fellow handlers.
