Favorite Handlers
Each judge has a preference for certain handlers. These
preferences may be based on past experiences, showing style, or just plain old
dirty politics. This preference is completely separate from the quality
of the exhibitor, which DOES come into play in the show ring. Andy Astor has
been known to prefer the following handlers.
Only the top 25 are listed for the sake of brevity.
