Nazi Influence...


...is sometimes necessary to ensure that all dogs have the same opportunities. 

When blinds are run, commotion behind the handler can make or break a performance, and Debbie Darnell and Kathy Berdan are taking their job seriously, which is to keep foot traffic between the parking area and the gallery nonexistent while dogs are running this test. Only when a dog is on the return from the bird can people go back and forth.
