Jeff You may be right about the clarity of "who is guilty" ...but honestly we all know who is doing most of it...and considering the prevalence of it with some handlers/ conditioners...I would be happy to watch them haggle it out with an owner who was guilty, rather than them, for a change. In all seriousness, this is why we may not want to get into suspensions...how do you know for certain that it was a handler/ conditioner or owner or co owner...too many variables, too many players. Just revoke the award...it will speak volumes. Kathy http://www.victorygermanshepherds.com Home of : CH. Elvaston's Nations Cup TC, 26 BOBs CH. Victory's Leviathan CH.
