Handlers charging too much is relative. Handlers have a talent most of us
don't have. If YOU have that talent you will win with a GOOD dog. Our breed
is kind of unique as we tend to gait the dogs more that other breeds. It's
harder on legs and bodies and most handlers keep themselves fitter that "we"
Wow, is that true. I do many performance events with my dogs. I feel I am
in pretty good shape. At the San Diego specialty, I showed my male. Well,
Jamie put us thru our paces and I was huffing and puffing like a freight train.
Ok, granted, my knee was messed up, but the huffing and puffing was not about
the knee, LOL! Our handlers earn their fees. No doubt about that. When I
use a handler, I pay for their expertise and ability to get around that ring
better than I. I appreciate their abilities. Expensive, yes. But that is my
choice, tight? I'll show my own when it works but I will save up to put a good
dog with a good handler. That is my choice as well. I, like many, am on a
limited budget. But, I'm not stupid. Many times your dog will work better
with
a handler than for you. I'll gladly pay for that if it works. Didn't work
for one of my guys and he gets me for a handler.
On a lighter side, I am getting that cardiovascular training in so I can
handle those specialty rings, LOL!
