Does anyone know some names that stick out in your mind as being, WOW really great Conformation handlers? Maybe some in Germany? Who are considered the best in the USA? Just to be clear, "German" style conformation.

Thanks so much,

The term wlpool is CONFORMATION. Confirmation is from the verb "to confirm", as in "I confirmed my appointment" or "He was confirmed as the newest Senator". Conformation has to do with structure or the way something is built, as in the conformation of a given dog ........

Wow, that sure does answer my question........not. You feel better?
CONFORMATION for Bienenkönigins sake.

I have been on the site. I guess for as much as I can't spell other can't read. This is an opinion on what conFORmation handlers are considered good.

Oh, it wasn't about spelling. You don't know the correct term. Now you do. But, I think many here will want to know if when you hire someone to show your dog and don't get first place will you be blaming them and tearing them down here on the PDB as you did with your trainer recently? Remember that? Anyone with any sense would stay away. But alas, there are those who will do it if you pay big bucks.
By the way, I am so glad you know one German word.......

Walter Kotters? He is from Germany and I see him handling a lot of top dogs in Germany and at the big shows in North America.
Also I recommend Carlos Huerta, I've seen him handle his own dogs and many dogs for other people.
I had Heidi Theis handle my puppy at our last Sieger Show. She seemed very good and professional. He was just a puppy (7 months), but I would have nothing against having her handle him again in the future.
For the big Sieger shows in the USA I think team Mittelwest brings over several handlers from Germany and you can hire them if they don't already have dogs in the class.

Again Hodie you so right about Windy mouth. And spelling conformation incorrectly is as annoying as those who get Shepherd wrong. You would think the way she tries so desperately to convince everyone of her knowledge of show lines she would get the spelling of conformation right, lol. Over to you Windy mouth, let it blow!!!!

Hodie, I know that "someone" has had the threads deleted, but if your memory were a little clearer you would recall that the trainer that you are referring to has an F on the BBB and from what I understand from the PMs that I got he has not been very reputable at all.
I know how you guys like to stick together though so I will leave it at that.
I put the FACTS about the occurrence up, not my opinion about how he messed up my dog. You must have come to that conclusion AFTER READING THE FACTS. Hmmmm.
Ah, Bazza I was waiting for you. Nice to see the way your posts have changed since someone decided you were a bad apple. If all it cost was for you to be a jerk every time you see my name......it was well worth it to save the next guy!
For all that sent emails and suggestions thanks. I am trying to take my program to the next level in spite of the trolls and any quality information is graciously needed and accepted.
Regards,
W

Liesjers,
Congrats on you puppy. How did he do? Was it a fun experience for you? Your puppy?
I am looking forward to Sieger in Germany bc I won't have to do ANYTHING (but watch), but Sieger here has me worried bc I will take care of everything.
