There is a shortage of COMPETENT handlers.
When I judged last month in California, I saw a number of young faces in
the ring.
I tried to look extra hard at these newcomers, and to tell them how as a
judge I liked dogs to be shown to me. Some listened, but just kept running
as fast as they could go. Others listened and did well. I tried to give
them every chance.
This is my advice to people who want to handler.
1. Advertise - in the National Catalogue -(advertising closing July 31 - )
2. On the GSDCA WEB SITE.
3. Get in the ring as much as you can. The more you show, the better you
get
4. Work with your own dogs daily. There is a certain rhythm to showing a
GSD and it can be different with each dog., Each dog has a speed at which
it looks its best. That is why it is harder to win with a ring side pick
up.
5. Get you face in the Review.
6. If you take a ring side pick up, ask the owner about the dog and
practice with it.
7. Run yourself to keep in condition.
And yes, face is important . But your face is as good as anyone's - just
keep it out there !
