To add to Randy's post..... Several years ago I was doing my last provisional and had a Rep sitting ringside. I had a comotion outside my ring and just as I turned someone, a handler's well known doubler, outside my ring was running and calling a dog's name. I called her down and told her to stop in no uncertain terms. She froze like a deer caught in headlights and started stammering. The only problem was...... she was trying to catch a loose dog outside the ring. LOL So much for controlling double handling............. -- Suzanne www.tsalishepherds.com Home of BIS/BISS Ch Yancy HIC HT PT RA CD TC CGC BH, Ch Flash, Ch Flair, Ch Mousser, Tess [150 PLUS ROM points/40 ATAA points], Lil' Miss Gilli RN[Mjr Res Winner] and all the others waiting at the bridge.
