[nagdu] another what would you do question

[Larry D. Keeler]

I'd take Monty!  If thee other handler lets the dog become aggressive, I'd 
find out what school and report the team!  Also, I'd try to avoid the other 
handler as much as possible.  At State convention, there was a woman who had 
a gigantic poodle who she allowed to growl and bark at folks.  I just went 
by and controled my ownd dog.  Whenever possible, I did this with my body 
between Holly and the poodle.  I didn't complain to the school because a 
representative was already at the convention.  And, one of the incidents 
happened right in front of the representatives table!  I figured she got 
nailed!
