I also recently saw a well known "professional handler (lady) jerking a dog around even while it was on the table in front of the judge. I couldn't beleive it. The little dog didn't want to do what she was wanting for some reason and she started handling it rough with her hands and jerkeing on it. That is one reason, I want to learn to show my own. Plus, the fact I don't ever want any of mine to be gone from home. I would rather not show than let mine go on extended vists to the handler. you never know what these handlers are going to do. The person I am speaking of sometimes has three or four at one show. How in the world can she be impartial and do the best for each dog?
