It seems to me that each dog needs to be shown at the speed it looks best. some look better running and some slower- An ol handler of mine use to tell me " you can loose looking good or loose looking bad" If your dog does not look good going slow then your handler better not move it slow and visa versa. When I put a dog in the ring with a handler I do it to win - so that handler had better show the dog to its best advantage slow or fast Sally The House of Nasdaq ROM Ch's Seiko, Adam & Ex http://danann.netfirms.com http://www.freewebs.com/embroiderybysally ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2005.
