It is spelled out in "black and white" in the Futurity Entry form Notice to Exhibitors section which clearly states "that handlers should NOT handle under any judge for whom they have handled within 4 months. (# 5)". Things can be no clearer, there is no ambiguity. Perhaps Nancy Harper, our Futurity Chairperson (who is on The List), can expand on what happens if someone does not follow this rule.
