Well, basically what I hear on all levels of showing in the AKC is that if your dog beat their dog...and your dog was professionally handled, it only won because of the handler. From puppy classes up to Group, if their dog loses, it is the fault of the handlers, and if your dog wins, it is the fault of the handlers. If your dog and my dog are both professionally handled, then my dog won because the judge is personal friends with my handler. Nobody ever entertains the concept that maybe the dog that won was the best dog that day. Never. Myra
