good post. i also was wondering this, at this time I am not looking for a handler as I have no dog to show yet but this is a question that has come to mind. I figured the price would be up there considering the work involved. I prob would do as YorkieRose and watch them and pay very close attention to how they handled the dogs. I still would be very afraid to let my baby go for months at a time.
I think I will just learn and show myself...I''ll start with lots of puppy classes lol.
