There are many reasons:  the rings are smaller, and many owners cannothandle 
the specialty rings;  owner handlers have a chance of winning:some ab judges 
haven't a clue so it's a crap shoot; if one of the "fab 7"handlers is there, 
the ab judge may not know him; sometimes an ab judge might actually know GSDs. 
 At the top of the owner-handler home-work is knowing your judges.  We have a 
list in this area of judges whoonly put up a certain kennel, one that brings up 
to thirty dogs to a show,all clones of each other because they never go out to 
breed. In thisscenario the few really good dogs there look so different these 
judgesjust go with one of the look-alikes.  OTOH, even these shows can be abit 
of fun afterward is you ask the judge about his decision.  I have heardanswers 
such as, "your dog had too much reach for me" ; "your dog wastoo dark";  " I 
thought your dog might be close to being a coat" ; "your dog'snails were too 
short ". Yes, these are
 but a few of the truly wonderfulresponses from judges.  BTW, there are some 
good ones, but you haveto do your homework and listen to those who have been 
there.

Are there more owner handled GSD's in the all breed ring. If so why?

I would say one reason is that many Golden's are owner handled, and they have a 
fair shot at winning. As you well know, most GSD are handled by a pro or 
someone 
that is a heck of a lot younger than I. This increases the cost of showing GSD 
.

What makes showing GSD's different than showing Golden's? Why are they hanging 
on to their entries  and we are losing?
