What’s life like for a professional handler? The general public sees them running around the ring on TV, winning huge rosettes, big silver bowls and gorgeous bronze sculptures. Owner-handlers often see them as their nemesis, and a few may assume that when they’re not showing dogs they’re hanging out with judges, talking dogs, and setting up who’ll be the winners at upcoming shows. Both groups of people might think professional handlers fly around on private jets, sipping champagne while they head for their next destination, limo and servants awaiting their every need, dogs in tow and cared for by someone else.
Did you guess the identity of the young professional dog show handler in our last #ThrowbackThursday photo?
Step back into the days of hippies, peace, love, and music. To all that add a dog show, too. The result is a joyous celebration, WOOFSTOCK.
