There are still some of those handlers out there....and they are good....They do it because they love the sport and not because they're attempting to milk the client......But, let's be realistic/ professional handling is a business....that's why we send our dogs out with a well known one.....
I only used a handler with my first Champion and that was because I was told, early on....if you got an exceptional dog and you are a newbie....you could ruin the dog.....I traveled with the handler and learned from him....when he felt I was ready I went in the ring.
