I was very happy with my win.
Someone told me that you could go to the ring steward any time before the judge chooses winners and ask to handle your dog with a valid reason of course.
Is this true?
What would your valid reason be and I'll tell you if that would work.
Before I hire a handler, I observe them very, very carefully. That way, I know what I am going to get. We don't all like the same thing, so do your homework.
I guess you guys chased off another one. What a fun sport we have.
It just amazes me that such judgmental, unyielding, often times even hateful people are breeding such loyal, reasonable, generous, forgiving dogs??
Sometimes I just don't get life.....I think I'll go hug a dog...
this has nothing to do with the OP question but these posts are the best on this thread, sad true. How can you own such wonderful labradors and act the way you do?

As for your posts, it's doubtful to me showing your own dog would have changed much other than you most likely wouldn't have gotten RWB with you as the handler. You sound young, and without a doubt, very inexperienced. You've been given good advice here, one being you do not pay a junior handler. Instead of thanking experienced breeders on this forum, your posts are rude and disrespectful. Get off your high horse and show your own dog, it's not as easy as it looks. Kudos to the junior handler, she did you a favor.
...have a lot to learn? That is good advice for each of us.
