2007 Handling Fees

For those that don't know me I've bred, shown and handled whippets for 20 years.  I've also handled many other hound breeds as well as a few Sporting breeds.

I don't handle for a living but I've had numerous people approach me about handling their dogs.  I don't mind helping someone out if they need assistance with their dog; for this reason, I have decided to publish my handling fees.

I've changed a lot of my handling fees this year due the increase in fuel prices and difficulty in finding hotels that accept dogs, so please note that I now charge for show travel.

CANCELLATIONS & FAILURE TO ENTER DOG

If Client verbally contracts Handler to show a dog, Client is responsible for handling fees.
