I take great pride standing on the out side of the ring watching my dogs being showing by a handler. I worked hard planning the breeding, getting the breeding done, raising the pups , picking the best, training it, conditioning it, having it ring ready. Great pride and fun when my dog who I put so much love and work into goes into the ring with a person who can show it to the best advantage. oh yes double handling also. Fun means many things to many people- I long ago accepted my place was on the out side of the ring.
