Well, what if the rules prohibited handlers from charging for handling (and 
expenses) at the futurities (which are just matches, after all).  Most of the 
matches around here prohibit professionals except when they are showing their 
own dogs.  I know that wouldn't be popular with the handlers, but it sure would 
make these match shows more affordable for the exhibitors.
 
BTW - at the Northeast Conformation Olympics everyone who can pitches in and 
handles and no one charges anyone anything for their services.  The entry is 
big - often bigger than some of the futurities and a good time is had by all.  
Sure would like to see the futurities go down that road...
