Your welcome; that brings up another thorny area that of professional handlers and what they are or are not responsible for, and what kind of insurance they carry.
I think at the minimum as the owner of the dog you send with a pro to show, that is well within reason to ask how he/she safeguards the dog at the show and when not at the show. Also a question is "if my dog gets stolen at a show while under your care, whose insurance covers this?
