First
of all, what is a Conformation Handler?
A Conformation or Show Handler is not a person
who leads obedience classes.
If you are looking for
someone to do that, go to our section "Need an
Obedience Trainer?".
Some people like
to show their dogs in the conformation ring. When showing for conformation, a
dog competes against other dogs and is judged against a breed standard. Each
breed has a standard that describes the ideal representative dog. The breed
standard covers all aspects of the dog's appearance.
A Show Handler is a
professional who knows how to 'handle' your dog in the show ring.
He/she will
take your dog and present it in the best possible way in front of the judge. A
Handler's duties vary but may include some or all of the following: bathing the
dog, grooming and clipping, boarding, and/or handling. They also train their
clients' dogs how to behave in the show ring. Many provide classes to those
clients who wish to learn how to show their own dogs.
Handlers may
travel across the country to show specific dogs in various different
cities and provinces. Some will take dogs to the United States to
compete there.
Check with your local kennel clubs for dates and times of dog shows in
your area.
