That's disgusting. We're supposed to prepare for and expect rude treatment by the so-called "big" dog show people? OMG this is way toooo weird for me. |
Most of the time the "big time handlers" are extremely busy at ring-side. They have more than one breed to show and are on a very rectic schedule. When one breed is done, there is another breed that needs to go in another ring at the other side of the show in less than 5 minutes. Most handlers have an average of 10 to 20 dogs to be shown at one show. Its best to talk to them after the show is over. They probabley dont mean to be rude, just very short or blunt because they are busy.(although I know of some that are just plain a**holes!LOL) Same with the breeder/handlers. Its best to talk to them after the show.
