And these stories can go on and on. OK, Kris, as I am working on getting my first show cavalier to handle myself, you are really scaring me. Oh, I don't blame you. I keep hearing all of these horror stories over the last year and a half being on this list and the small amount of courage/self-confidence I have mustered up practicing on my pet cavalier is waning fast. Is there a stereotypical-looking helpful and positive cavalier handler I can stand closer too - ones that you refer to? Heck, I'd probably make them look pretty good. <VBG> No really, you did mention there are a few. I've been paying particular attention to the lengthy discussions on whether the handler makes the show dog, the show dog is natural if you have a decent handler and I don't see any thread of agreement that makes me feel better as a novice. Stick to novice class? Maybe that's it.
