why when first getting into showing Shepherds I was told by someone who's
been there (over 25 yrs)to get myself a "name" handler because most
owner/handled Shepherds either take WAY too long to finish, or don't finish at
all.
I'm not griping or groaning, I'm just stating what I was told in the very
beginning. I was basically laughed at when I said I wanted to learn to handle
my own dogs, I was told the judges wouldn't give another look.
The person who told you may have wanted you to see what a top handler could
do. Or he/she might have wanted you to have an inroad into meeting people in
the breed. Or they might have been friends with a handler. Or, they might
have been an idiot.
I was laughed at when I handled my own dogs. I was told that I didn't know
what I was doing, and that I needed to find a top handler. I was told I was
a lousy handler. I even remember who the dog was I was handling. It was
Champion Asgard's Big Ben of Encore ROM.
I was pleased to be able to make people laugh.
