To choose the correct handler, one must review the
handler’s education, experience and ability in the sport of
showing dogs. The correct handler devotes much of their
time to the expert care, conditioning and exhibiting of the
purebred show dog.
When choosing the handler, review them carefully to
ensure they maintain appropriate kennel facilities and
vehicles equipped for safely transporting your dogs.
When considering using a handler, here are a few
thoughts to keep in mind:
-
The handler will evaluate your dog's potential as a
show dog.
-
The handler will educate you in areas of
conditioning, training and grooming in order to
make them competitive in the conformation ring.
-
The handler can devote the time required to
condition your dog both mentally and physically to
take on the stamina required for shows.
-
The handler will use their experience to present
your dog to the best of its advantage.
-
The handler has the ability to exhibit your dog in a
wide geographic area, taking advantage of shows
where the dog can best perform and win.
-
The handler can earn a championship on the dog in
less time and expense than the owner-handler
