A couple of people wrote to me privately and complained about handlers showing their own dogs while they were also showing clients dogs. They thought this was a very wrong thing to do. They felt like it was a conflict of interest. What do you think? Do you think it's good business for a handler to show his own dogs at the same show that he shows your dogs? Do you feel that you are still getting 100% from that handler when he/she shows his own dogs? What about the expenses and handling fees when a handler wins with his own dog rather than yours?
