Well they all were handler's. None of the breeder's that attended, showed any of there dogs. They just came down to watch and bench. I think she (handler on the Ch male) was on one other dog. One of the other handler's, (Katherine) is a major Amstaff handler. Well atleast used to be. She really looked out of place trying to handle a Poodle. We could tell she was assisting one of the handler's then last minute had to bring a pup in. That was a little funny. But yes the handler with the white male that took breed knew she had it. As soon as she walked up with that boy my husband I said to each other, there's the best of breed dog! lol
I have seen some Poodle handler's cover the eye's with the ears and then guide the dog from the muzzle. Its still kind of weird but actually walking it out by the ears ??? wow!
No handler's but I talked to the breeder from Graphic and a friend of the breeder from Granduer (breeder was out shopping at the vendor's). I personally wasn't to impressed by either breeder. The friend Granduer left behind to chat with people didn't seem to knowledgeable even though she own's Poodle's out of Granduer. The graphic breeder came off with a "look at me attitude" I don't know how to explain it. Plus, I already knew both breeder's are strictly AKC and will not even consider a dog bred from them to be registered UKC. To me that say's a little right there. Even though I have prefered AKC with our Amstaff's doesn't mean I will with Poodle's. I want my options open. They're probably good recognized AKC Poodle breeder's but not the type I would like a dog from anyhow.
