I don't use Clint as my handler, because I choose to do my own handling. I
enjoy showing my own dogs, whether I win or not. If my dogs perform, I'm
happy! If they don't, I'm disappointed, but I'm still happy. I love showing
the dogs!
I believe that getting upset about what a handler charges is ridiculous. Don't
use that handler, choose a cheaper one. If he charges a bonus, that's his
business. It's the price we pay for our HOBBY!!!
Sincerely,

Hi Laura,
I'm sorry I don't agree with paying a bonus. That should be MY choice whether
I chose to "tip or not". He's higher priced than several GSD handlers. Would I
give a bonus, most likely, but sure don't want to be told how much he or she
thinks they are worth.
