I think the key is to redefine the term amatuer....becuse if Ricky has not been 
paid for his services then he is an amatuer - no matter how good of handler he 
is.    Honestly I don't know how you can police who can handler and who can not 
by anything other than if they've been paid for handling services. I suppose 
you could require a handling test to determine that yes you are a bad enough 
handler so you can show in the amatuer futurity.  I wouldn't want to pass that 
test....though I'm sure I could with flying colors :o).
   
  Better to limit dogs to showing in one futurity, the amatuer or the regular.  
That might encourage more newbies to show.....otherwise why bother if the 
regular futurity dogs are also entered in the amatuer with these super good 
junior handlers.

In answer to your question. Yes the dog won a group under me not RICKY. I 
was judging the dogs not the handlers. In saying that just because he was the 
handler on the DOG that won the group does not make him a professional. I have 
given groups to other DOGS that were being handled by non professional many 
times. Also have awarded BIS to DOGS that were not professional handled but 
owner handled. Do that make the owner now a profession because they won a 
BIS on their DOG.
I do think Ricky is owner of the DOG I put up so I am not sure what your 
point is and this all I have to say on this.
I answered the question you ask and I am done. Not interested in starting or 
taking part in any argument. This list has been very nice for the last week 
and hopefully it will stay that way.
Your post was very strong and unnecessary.

Lee,

I was using this to make my point that the man IS NOT AN AMATEUR!!!! 
Nothing more nothing less! Yes, the owner handler can & sometimes DOES win 
groups 
BIS etc... BUT that doesnt mean that they are FOREVER AMATUERS.

I dont post often but when I do it is usually something I feel is hurting 
others & sending the WRONG message to new people, part of why we quit showing 
to begin with it QUIT being FUN & it became brain surgery & still is to some 
of you...win at ANY price. All this is teaching the NEWBIES (like all the 
other crap that went on on this list during the Election, which mind you I 
NEVER 
once posted about!) is that playing with the terminology of the word, it's 
ok to bypass what the word is actually and HONESTLY meant to mean.

NUFF SAID!!!
