Re: Happy to help!

Hiya................unfortunately its not like the USA where they advertise everywhere...............the best help usually comes from someone in your breed, can you stand him and just need someone to run him?......can you gethim to the shows?...............i find the really BEST people to ask are the winning junior handlers....they always need new dods to work with and are usually delighted to be asked and do really well as the winners always seem to have that special empathy with the dogs in their charge...............plus they are free!........the times i have used them though i have always had a box of chocs with me for after the class and on the odd occasion if the manage BOB or best puppy i give them a fiver!.....if you approach them at a show they could practice with Danny there and see what you think.........there may be someone at your ringcraft class that would be happy to do it for you....there are those options to explore before you go down the professional handler route which is REALLY expensive, especially if they have to pick upyour dog and deliver it back home............i dont know what they charge here but i had a dog live with the handler in the USA and each show she attended cost me the equivilent of £85, if she won i paid more!
i hope this help in your search
good luck and i hope your back is on the mend soon
regards
Pauline
