Dog handlers ???

Crufts is a dog show
El = The (in Spanish) it is placed in the middle of the word (hence ??? ?el?

Thanks Klazomaniac.

The Dog handler part I understand.But why seconds?

Mid Yell is the township.

El in Mid YL?
Uncear.
Seconds has me stumped also, hence the ???

The mid(dle) of y(EL)l = EL
Therefore mid y(EL)l = EL ('The' in Spanish)
It's a double definition clue, hankir - a handler is a boxer's training assistant or 'second'.
