gaiting at an national..Paul was a handler way back Barbara

I know, and I never understood where they were coming from on that....what is
wrong with handing off the dogs to other handlers? What was their argument on
that?

JAMIE: THEY DECIDED IT ENCOURAGED EXTENSIVE GAITING... WHICH THEY WERE
ADAMANT ABOUT STOPPING...IN THE GS RING.
IT DID.. OUR DAUGHTER WAS A GREAT RUNNER HERSELF AND SHE WAS TRAINED TO
WAIT FOR MY SIGNAL , NEXT LAP TO COME IN OR 2ND TIME... AND SHE COULD COME
RUNNING IN BEHIND ME AND MATCH MY STRIDE, AND I COULD HAND OFF THE DOG, AND GO
OUT OF THE RING, ALL IN ONE EASY MOTION...AND WE NEVER MISSED A BEAT., US OR
THE DOG... .. LOTS OF US HAD OUR KIDS OR FRIENDS TRAINED TO DO IT... BUT THEN
WE WERE ALSO ALLOWED TO CHANGE OUR PLACEMENTS WHILE IN MOTION.. IF A JUDGE
MOTIONED YOU TO THE FRONT OF THE LINE, YOU HAD TO OUTMOVE EVERY DOG IN FRONT OF
YOU TO TAKE THAT POSITION, NO ONE 'NICELY' SLOWED DOWN TO LET ANYONE PASS
THEM...
I ALWAYS HAVE TO LAUGH WHEN I RECALL MORRIE GORDON RUNNING IN BEHIND JACK LA
ROU TO SPELL JACK.... WHO WAS IN FRONT OF THE LINE WITH MORRIE'S DOG,
'BARRY' AND WAS GOING ALL OUT AND MORRIE CAME IN BEHIND JACK, TO SPELL HIM
AND
TAKE OVER BARRY... AND BEGAN YELLING 'GO BARRY', GO!!!' IN HIS EXCITEMENT..AND
JACK YELLED BACK AND SAID 'SHUT UP' OR YOU'LL NEVER CATCH US !!''
SO MORRIE finally STOPPED ENCOURCOURAGING BARRY, . AND JACK GOT BARRY TO
SLOW JUST ENOUGH FOR MORRIE TO CATCH UP WITH THEM..
BUT WHAT A SIGHT!!! THE HANDLER WAITING FOR THE HAND-OFF AND THE 'SPELL
GUY' RUNNING BEHIND HIM FAST AS HE COULD GO, AROUND THE LARGE RING,. YELLING
FOR HIS DOG TO 'GO BARRY, GO!!!' I GUESS IT IS ONE OF THOSE THINGS WHERE,
YOU JUST WOULD HAVE HAD TO HAVE BEEN THERE.. BUT IT ALWAYS MAKES ME LAUGH TO
THINK ABOUT IT!!! BARB W.
