About Junior Handling
In Junior handling, the children compete, and the dog IS NOT judged, but the child is judged on being able to properly present themselves and their dog to the judge. They must know triangles, T's, L's, down and back, stacking, showing dogs bite, AND the anatomy of the dog, including what the dog was bred for.
Junior handling is about HOW to present the dog, how to present yourself, how to address a judge with respect, eye contact. posture. There is a lot to it, that the dog owner does not know.
In Junior Handling, you must be able to present your dog to the judge for hands on examination. While on the table, the judge will want you to show her the dogs bite. She may quiz you on the breed, what it was bred for, what are disqualifying faults, what group it belongs to etc. She may ask you to name a couple body parts, like the Withers and Stifle. She will want your dog (Large dogs on the ground), Stacked, and standing still for a hands on exam. She will want you to address her with respect, and have eye contact.
