Just thought I'd add a thread on owner-handling for those who are interested....

I'll post some handling tips and maybe we can get some fun discussion going!

Here's #1

ALWAYS know where the judge is, and be sure he is looking at your dog before moving. Make sure he's not conferring with teh steward, blowing his nose, daydreaming..... YOu only get ONE chance for him to see your dog looking GREAT, so don't let him miss it! You can just wait politely, checking until he's watching, then go!
