But the way some handlers dress, as if they're on their way to a cocktail party, is totally OTT in my opinion and far more offputting than comfortable attire as the Bloodhound lady was wearing.

I know what you mean....IMO too some are way too OTT but I do think the lady with the bloodhound had gone a bit the other way! Lets face it PINK trousers and a GREEN top....and what happened to her iron I wonder

Totally agree Pod. The bloodhound lady looked smart but comfortable IMO. The lady showing the Malamute looked as though she was off out to a dinner party
I found that a little more strange than comfortable shirt and slacks.
