let me tell you that most double handlers are AWFUL.
They harm the exhibiting of their dog more than they help them. How can one
see a GSD gaiting properly when they are pulling on a leash trying to get to
their owner. This is not a natural gait for a GSD. More exhibitors need
to
re-read the standard and go to a GSD judges seminar to re-educate themselves
as to what constitutes proper gait for a GSD. I have attended seminars
under 5 different presenters and never has anyone of the five advocated that
a GSD had to pull on the lead to gait properly.

Last night we attended our club's Christmas Party graciously hosted by the
Ginsburgs. In both the living and family rooms, the TV was playing the DVD of
The 25 years of Nationals. I had forgotten how the dogs used to be shown.
You could SEE the dogs moving effortlessly and not the crazy pulling
scrambling legs flying in all directions presentations we see today. OK, call
me an
old fart that doesn't like change, but seriously they looked so much more
dignified in those old tapes. I sure wish some judges would go back to
rewarding the dogs with the easiest longest sidegaits instead of the fastest
quickest
stepping racer.
