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".. | |

Sometimes they'll be a youngster wanting to learn and one of the professional handlers will take them on for the summers to teach them the ropes. There is more then just handling the dog at a show, there is the care in between, the training and the responsibility of losing no coat, etc.

| I started as a junior handler with a Collie . Later , I met a Yorkie breeder that was ready to give me the chance to work with her during the weekends . Later, this breeder gave me the opportunity to own 2 of her puppies . |
