Best in Show that was did you have to did you have to go and like uh hang around other dog people we did dog training we did um little dog handler training we went to a park in Beverly Hills and it was John Michael Higgins Katherine O'Hare and me at this because we were the handlers of the dogs yes and it was a woman teaching uh people how to handle their dogs for dog show and so we were just you know three students and and well what happened well we were we did pretty well but there was a a small dog show that was happening right after it and one of the handlers didn't show up and John Michael Higgins handled a dog and won come on yes are you first place yeah he took to it he had no he had no experience he had no experience that little lesson and he uh his dog won what does that mean about the craft of dog handling well I think John Michael Higgins is quite ex uh an exemplary person everything he does because I think there is I wasn't very good at it at first but Michael just took which dog did he handle do you remember which dog he crushed it with I don't know what they were I forget what dogs they were peines well his dog in the show was the Shih Tzu the shitsu that's right who was who was your dog in the I had a rapity and white and she was a white standard Poodle did you actually get to take the dog home or anything like that so you could try the PE well the owners of especially this this particular dog um I I I I'd never met anybody like her she was um so controlling about how I handled the dog take I couldn't even talk to the dog I wasn't allowed to make eye contact with her until we were shooting and then I then I would was allowed to what do you mean you weren't allowed to make eye contact with the dog they treat these dogs like you know they're Stars I guess they are stars to them and she kept showing me the the awards that this dog won you know you I hope you know who what what dog you're handling there she won this she won that she won that just really a strange very strange woman just in case you thought you were just handling any old dog this was a Champion Dog the Michael Jordan of dogs yes well according to her anyway but the you know when we were shooting that show we didn't have to stop shooting for one bark the dogs were so well trained more than the humans on the humans were barking all the time we were like C Fred
