I don't have a problem with it. I know who my handlers are handling and I have a choice to say yeah or nay when it comes to my own dog being entered. Besides, can I begin to tell you how many times it has been the handlers' dogs who have held the major? It certainly isn't mine because at most I go w/ a class dog and a special. If I have a dog I'm trying to win with, doesn't matter to me whose name is on the registry of the other dogs my handler is showing; I still have to beat them for the points.
