I think when a handler can make themselves and the dog a solid package it is poetry in motion. Of course, that is presentation, but it is the connection they have with each other. A couple examples in fairly recent history come to mind.... Jerry with Cuz I Want To Scott with Fettucini Sandy with Kate Jimmy with Geneva When the handler and dog work together and become one there is just nothing nicer to see. Beyond that, I want a handler to respect me and my dog, be straight with me because I am very straight with them. And be professional. Not much to ask. It is hard to build a winning team..........once found, it takes your breath away.
