I disagree with you Laura. I don't think the quality will be better. It is because the handlers win with just about anything that make the breeders try harder to produce a better dog than what the handler is out there with. Breeders with really good dogs show them themselves. Handlers usually get the dogs that people can not win with or they get the really good ones to special but the mediocre dogs just finish and go back home. But it was easy for you to make that guarantee since there is no way the handlers are going to go away. And yes it should be the dog that wins not the handler but until we have judges that don't know what they are looking at then it won't matter. Cathy J.
