I don't think this stuff is that complicated. Handlers shouldn't show dogs
that they own or co-own at shows where they're taking other people's money
to show their dogs, period. It's a very obvious conflict of interest.

I think it has to be understood and divulged up front that a handler is
bringing in a dog.
As long as a person has that choice and that knowledge in advance, then they
can
choose whether or not to show.
If the handler is ethical, has integrity, and I realize some do not, the
handling will be
a 100% effort for every dog.   Also, very often handlers often enter their
OWN dogs to help hold a major
for a client's dog, that may need it....funny though, that is seldom noticed
or appreciated.
Usually , speaking for us, mind you, it is our own dogs that get the least
grooming, warm up
and attention at a show.  We are usually so hurried from class to class with
clients' dogs, that
are own dogs are often brought right out of the crate , right into the
ring.  If you are going to
short change a dog at a show, it damn well better be your OWN dog that gets
the least .
I do know of handlers that play the games that use "gas dogs" , that use
clients' to
further their own agendas.   It is appalling, and gives a bad name to all.
Choose a handler with integrity, with honesty.   Make sure they are "up
front" about
whom is being shown, and where.....you can choose to show, or not, that way.
