By what I have personally seen is that most handlers are also show/breeders themselves.. I have also noticed that some handlers grew up in a family of showing dogs and than it became routine for them.. I have not met a handler that did not own dogs of their own that they also show!
We have a wonderful conformation class at our 4-H fairgrounds and last fall we opened it up to the 4-H kids that would like to show their dogs.. But I can remember a couple of the older kids saying they want their career to be showing dogs "Handler"..
