There are NO other rules for exhibitors? Does it say somewhere that it is frowned upon, banned, etc?? Becky T.

All I was able to find was this (from the "Rules, Policies and Guidelines for Conformation Dog Show Judges"): Double Handling - Evaluate each dog solely on its merit without regard to outside influences such as double handling. Double handling can usually be eliminated by announcing to exhibitors and ringside that you will not tolerate the practice. You may excuse any dog from competition if you believe someone or something is influencing its performance or showmanship other than the dogâ��s handler in the ring. If there are unnecessary disturbances outside your ring, you may call for the Show Chairman or the AKC Field Representative. Anyone out there have the rules for exhibitors? TIA! Becky T.
