The Handlers In The 10th Series

Here are the handlers that are in the 10th Series. We have seven different handlers handling eleven dogs. Six of these handlers are pros with one being an amateur. Mark Medford, the amateur handler, and the defending handler champion. Can he win two years in a row with two different dogs? Or will it be one of the pros, Ray Voigt, John Henninger or Mark Smith looking for their first NRC Championship as a handler. Just as hungry as these guys are to win their first one, don't think Dave Rorem, Alan Pleasant, Jim Gonia (2x winner) or Wayne Curtis doesn't want to improve their resume with another NRC Championship on it!
