Cindy, I am sure if I am wrong either Dottie, Ernie or Nadine will correct
me. But I finished 15 of our own dogs. I am sure we could have had many
more Champions had we hired handlers for some we sold as very nice pets.
But this is what we ( I ) wanted to do. It can be done, but as many have
said it takes a long time in training (for yourself).
