This has been discussed before. It would be great if there was an option to select 'owner' as the handler for certain judges. I am constantly having to check the judge preferences when I see 'change handler' on one of my dogs because I can't tell if I haven't assigned a handler yet or if it's an 'owner/handler' judge. If we could select 'owner' that would solve that problem. Seems like it would be easy just to add 'owner' to the list of handlers.

I can see why this option could be a good thing but also unnecessary.

Good: easier for the players.

Unnecessary: I think it's part of the game play. Breeders/showers should now which judges prefer owner handlers - to make the game that little bit more challenging. I simply just have a list of the judges that prefer owner handlers written next to my computer - and hence I now know them off the top of my head when I'm entering shows

happy :)

Well I have a list as well but it would make sense to be able to select 'owner' as the handler.

I most certainly would appreciate this.

No, it is not essential, but there should be a way to indicate that "owner" is by choice. Yes, in time we learn most of the owner-judges but that is not really the point first of all and with the turnover due to retirments there are always new judges coming in.

It's an efficiency thing - we shouldn't have to check to make sure we haven't just missed one. If we have chosen to self-handle, that should be indicated.

The stategy/challenge is to know to check the judge and decide on the handler, not memorize a particular category of judge.

And yes, I've gone back, thinking I had missed one and put a handler for a non-handler before. It's really annoying, but having owner as a choice would make it SO much easier.
