Good news on this topic. I attended the Northern CA Toy Show yesterday and saw most of the judging (from Open Dog on) and there was a very nice entry in size and quality that included 10 specials. Every exhibitor stood with their dog and the dogs were all cheerful and free moving. There were owner handlers and professional handlers and AKC approved judge-owner-handlers and ALL did a proper job. Wood Wornell, one of CA's most 'famous' handlers and a very tall man, handled his gently and graciously and stood in front of him like all the others. It was a lovely sight.
