1. one of the three biggest lies is that there are very few handlers on the west coast. For those of you who have been to the National. Here is a list from over the years: Jerry Guzman 2 GVictors and a G Victress John Wilcox a GVictor and a G Victress Gloria Birch handled and did not own a Grand Victor and owner handled a Grand Victress Leo Bellini handled a third one for her(because she got tired) Gail Sprock a Grand Victress Ken Tank a Grand Victress Jerry Graham a Grand Victress Bob Penny a double Grand Victor Angelo La Tella a breeder owner handled Grand Victor Julie Wheeler Hamasaki A grand Victor Neil Given a Grand VIctor(he later moved to Kansas City but was living in California when he won) Sergio Espijo: This years Grand Victress Thats a dozen and I probably forgot one someplace. I am expecting JR Alcantara and Art Sinclair to have one one of these days. I think thats just as many if not more then I have seen handle from the East Coast. Ithink each area has had its share of handlers. ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2006.
