A little off subject but I think it pertains:
I am seeing the comment "once a dog is handled". When is a dog officially considered handled? I have been told by someone that has been on the rules committee that a dog is considered handled the moment that the judge says "handle your dog". As in- dogs treeing, judge says "handle your dog" and as cast members move in a dog makes a loop out away from the tree. Some cast members want the dog minuses. Judge says "no, dog was treeing when I instructed for dogs to be handled, so he is considered handled." This apparently came up at a big hunt where dogs were to be handled and as handler reached for dog he slipped off to the side and got a drink of water in a creek. Handler caught dog 20 feet away in creek and cast argument started.
As it regards to Allens question, and Maniacs comment, if a dog is at tree but not struck and judge says "handle your dog" and dog has not been known to have barked three times yet, does handler need to strike dog?
