Like everything, the prices have gone sky high! Food, gas, in general.. LIVING! EXAMPLE, (AKC , to enter dog shows.) I am not making excuses for the few handlers, who do jack their prices to oblivion. My personal opinion, there are not many handlers' to pick and choose from. When the bodies,(KNEES) start going, and then are gone, these people out of business.This is their livelyhood. When the time comes, I will help a JUNIOR! They need a chance.
