I would love to be a handler now, but, being older, I need the health insurance my job offers me. I did work for two handlers a few years ago. Its alot of work!!
good luck!!!!!!!!! |
We have looked at the AKC web site, they have good information on it but it really doesn't say much a bout the differences between the Junior showing to the adults showing. Like you earn points and your dog can become a champion when you are an adult, does Junior's showing their dogs earn point too and their dog can eventually get to be a champion? Or do juniors just show to gain experience only
I am a bit confused with this, I know about adult showing, just not familiar with Junior showing. He doesnt care if he get's point he wants the experience of showing because he really wants to get into dog shows. He has tried talking me into it but I am a shy person and I just do not see me doing this at all, My son is very outgoing and also a bit competitive too. He has a friend that's father has tried his hand at showing German Sheperds and that is what got my son interested.
