One really neat thing came out of the UKC shows this weekend. I watched a young man handle GSDs with aplomb. He hasn't been doing it very long, but gained confidence and expertise by the second. Did a really great job, especially with a young bitch that wanted her owner more than she wanted to be in the ring. I let him take Dreamer into the Group a couple of times, and with just a word or two about Dreamer's idiosyncrasies, he did a really professional job. Name Patrick McClintock, and I think you'll be hearing about him more.
