There is also room for the kids in conformation show events: Junior Showmanship is an ideal way for children to become involved in the sport of purebred dogs. Judging is different than for conformation point events in that the awards are based on how well the Junior Handler presents the dog rather than on how closely the dog approaches the ideal specimen of the breed.

At left: Kylie & “Race.” Kylie was nationally ranked as one of the top juniors in both the sporting group and all-breed. Much of Race’s show career is due to Kylie’s training of Race to compete with her in Juniors classes. Race was the dog she chose to take to Westminster Kennel Club for her final year of eligibility as a Junior...and they made it through to the final cut in their competition group! Kylie has gone on to be a breeder of Field Spaniels as well as a Junior Showmanship judge, while Race has gone on to be one of the top ranked dogs in the breed! Below, Kylie with CH OTCH Calico’s So Fine Four-O-Nine UDX at left, and with CH OTCH Calico’s Demolition Derby UDX3 at right. |
