Presentation includes how the dog should be shown, i.e. no trimming, no coloring, dont string em up and dont kneel. Handling skills are to me anyway the skills of how to conrol the dog, get it to stand and move properly etc. I think Judges should judge type and presentation not handling skills. I put kneeling in the presentation category. but on the other note of Jr Handling... someone correct me if I'm wrong but in Jr Handling aren't they SUPPOSED to be juding the Handling not the dog? That is what I always thought. Jr Handling was for the youth to learn and demonstrate handling skills not for judging of conformation of the dog at that age? Have I got this wrong????
