YT 2000 Club Member | Any tips or information On AKC Junior Organization? My son just sent for his Junior Showman Ship Request form and he is super excited. He was able to see a show first hand and got very interested in doing shows. I have been looking at information and got a few show books for him to read but most are for adults showing not a kid. He is 14. How different is Junior handling from the adult showing their dogs? He has done more research in this than I have but I am trying to learn more on this. We want to support him as we think he will do well and eventually be an adult handler some day. Hes so excited Any advice would be nice.Thank you!

| Gosh, I wish I could help you. I am excited for your son too!!! Maybe you could get in contact with a local kennel club. Infodog has lists of shows in every state, maybe there is one soon in your area. Also go to AKC.org. I wish I would have known about dog shows when I has a child. 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!!!!!!!!! |

| I am pretty sure they judge more on his skills to handle the dog than they do on actually judging the dog itself http://dogs.lovetoknow.com/wiki/Inte...Junior_Handler Deana Prestigeous Last edited by PrestigeousYT; 01-15-2008 at 09:08 AM. Reason: forgot link |
