She is referring to a handler that I WORK with.? A handler I hire has no right to tell me who to applaud for. The handler who I work with, on the other hand, represents his clients and our clients (and there are two different groups). So I follow his advice - not that I agree with it - and definitely not that I want this discussed in a public forum. Agree or disagree, can we now move on please? ?Becky T.
