For example, if I show for a judge for several years, and they don't have anything to show for 4 months or 6 months, out of respect I wouldn't show to them. Now, if it is a year or so, then I would probably show to them. Should be the same for shows and futurities. Greg Greg, Hopefully they will follow your example. It is called professional courtesy, and avoiding the appearance of impropriety. And sustaining the feeling that everyone comes in on an even playing field. Of course, someone who handles for me knows what I like, and have a better idea of what to bring to me. But, I can hear the complains........ not enough handlers ....who would take the dogs in....how about owners, and juniors??? Do we not trust the judges? Do we not trust the dogs? This is a whole other can of worms....LOL Ileana ************************************** AOL now offers free email to everyone.
