Here in Pro-Handler Heaven.... the New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania area where many of them live and certainly work, I must say I have never seen any of this bad behavior to which you are referring. Most of the pros are lovely people and certainly polite and professional and would be welcome in my home. As a matter of fact I have witnessed a few incidents where the exhibitors were so self-involved they were outright rude and those were mostly owner handlers. I have no doubt that behavior was due to the pace that the AKC shows move. The pros have assistants and the owner handlers have no time to get their next dog for the next class. However, poor manners are poor manners no matter the reason.
