Childs Best Friend

Junior handling Class

Entry to Childs Best Friend is open to all breeds and mixes, and will require dogs in Show Pose.

Our Judge for this class is
Morganstar

Our collator to send your entries to is
Gina&Jaz


Our Judge for this first Juniors class will be looking for handlers stacking or free standing their dog in a show pose as proficiently as they can


The privacy of children is very important so please blank out your Junior handlers visual identity by blurring the face or cropping photos suitably.
Entries submitted in which children can be identified will not be posted, if anyone needs help to mask a face please approach someone you trust to do this for you

Our Judge is going to be considering handling skill, hence the dogs breed or mix is immaterial for this class.

Excellent examples of what to aim for as a Show type pose are here in the entry threads for the class below :
Gundog AV Large and Gundog AV Medium


Entries will be initially split by handler age catagories :
Under 10 Years of age
and
10 years + 1 day to 16 Years of age.

Three juniors from each age group will be chosen for the final six and then placed.

To be eligible for this class, members putting forward a Junior handler must be the parent / guardian of the child or must have parental / guardian permission if the entrant is a grandchild / niece / nephew - entries will be accepted on this basis in trust for this point

One dog per Junior handler only please

For the awards posted for public view, the submitted pictures will be used.

Once the winners are announced, if any of them would like a certificate to display at home with the childs face showing [ if blanked out ], those winners can pm the Show Sec with the original picture and they will then be sent a copy privately to print out.
Alternatively, if winners have suitable software they can of course simply overlay their original photo onto their publicly posted award for their family keepsake :smt001

The Show Management hope the timing of this class will help take the sting off youngsters going back to school after their Summer holidays, but do of course ask that the Junior Handlers finish their homework before practising their dog handling skills for their photo

To give people time to create their entry, this class will run over two full weekends and will close on
24/09/07

Good luck to all our Dogsey Juniors, and watch out for details of the next Juniors class [ non-handling skill style ], which will run for Halloween

This class is now closed

Many thanks to our young Dogsey handlers for entering, it won`t be an easy job for our judge I`m sure

The Show Sec would like to offer her apologies for the delay in the results for this class being released, our Judge seems to have gone missing, she was last seen heading in the direction of the VIP bar

Or it could be that her PC is currently at the computer doctors having major surgery [ a re-format was on the cards if I remember correctly ? ].

As soon as she is either back online or makes her way in a not very straight line from the bar we will have the results for our Juniors for this class.

Many thanks for your patience
