I wouldn't worry about a shortage of handlers. If prices of gas, entry fees and the cost to put on a show, keep going up, I see there is a shortage of dogs to be shown. (Greg) Amen to that Greg. I just got back from Beverly Hills KC and The Great Western Terrier Association and I went with a total of 6 dogs this weekend. Gas, out here is about 4$ a gallon now and cleints are now taking a closer look at those shows they really "need to do" vs the shows they "want to do". I even dropped my Prestige Show handling fee (Montgomery County, KC of Beverly Hills, Santa Barbara, Bucks and Trenton have higher fees) as the expenses are slowly starting to increase.
