Junior Handling
I feel it is important to provide Juniors the opportunity to compete and enjoy dog showing. We have introduced a number of juniors into the dog show world, showing our dogs in regular classes as well as earning Junior Handling ribbons with our Springers.
Objectives Junior Kennel Clubs exist to promote the participation and education of young Canadians in all activities involving dogs, and especially purebred dogs. Their chief goal should be to create and nurture in their members a lifelong affection and understanding of animals, whether these members have only a family pet, or wish to develop their expertise in dogs to the highest levels.
Events Are held in conjunction with CKC sanctioned events across the Maritimes with purebred dogs only.

Provincial Junior Handling competitions shall be held once a year, in order to select a Best Junior Handler for each of The Canadian Kennel Club-designated provinces/zones; that junior handler will go to the National.
If you would like to get your kids involved in Junior Handling please let me know and I will connect you with the right people that can help. Twice a year I do host a junior handling fun day at the Hantsport Fire Hall with my dogs - lots of fun. The photo's below are of junior handlers.
