To me handling is a
combination of knowledge, experience, trust, a great
will to win, and a special feeling. To be successful
in the show ring, the most important thing is to
give the judge a perfect presentation of the dog you
are showing.
Through knowledge of the breed’s exteriors, you can
choose to front the dog’s best and most typical
features. To do an exceptional job in the show ring
you also need experience. Trust between dog and
handler is important as it helps you through
stressing situations in the show ring. Trust is also
necessary between handler and dog owner; never
forget you that are showing their “baby” and that it
takes a lot of trust to entrust your loved ones to
someone else, whether close to you or far away.
A great will to win is a given for a handler. I love
my job in the ring – it is always a pleasure to show
a beautiful dog; entering the final ring is a
fabulous feeling. But, the most important thing for
a handler is the feeling for what you do; this you
cannot learn – you simply must have it. Some people
do and others do not. Of course you can practice and
learn to be a better handler, but in order to work
professionally as a handler you need that special
indescribable feeling.
I offer handling of most breeds – you are very
welcome to contact me if you are interested.
Together we will discuss your goals and make a plan
for your dog.
