I didn't want to go there but what's your classification of a pro-handler?
I think it's one who shows professionaly and gets paid for it. There were a few in there that do just that... One even said she makes a living raising / showing bulldogs. ( AZ newspaper article) Said this when her dog was stolen... Now this isn't a slam but I can see you wanting to get in and call what you percieve to not be a handler. Mike Stone is another handler...and he gets paid for it...
So, there were pro-handlers in there...and they showed up each day.. Win or lose from the previous days, so I don't know your point by saying there were no pro-handlers...
