Handling tends to fall into three types:

 

German

American

British

 

Which method to use depends vastly on your circumstances.  For example, if you are a tall person and handling a puppy, the British style would not suit, the American style would be more appropriate.

 

Of course, it all depends on which you are more comfortable with too.  The British style is much more acceptable in the ring  but we feel that you should handle in the best way for you - as long as your dog is presented to the judge at their best, it should make no difference.

 

Here we will take you through the different styles of handling.

Methods....
 

These vary greatly depending on what is right for you and your dog.  The best way is to combine the three to suit your needs. Be critical of your dog's faults as then you'll find the best handling method to disguise them.
