What is your favorite thing about being a Junior Handler?
My favorite thing about being a Junior Handler is competing with my dog and having fun in the ring.
What advice would you give to someone curious about getting involved in Junior Handling?
The advice I would give to someone wanting to get involved in Junior Handling is it’s not all about winning. It’s about learning, growing and having fun with your dog.
How important is your connection with the dog you are showing?
Having a connection with your dog is very important. If I didn’t have a connection with my dog, she wouldn’t keep her attention on me and she would be harder to show.
