Junior Handling Classes
Age (6-11 yrs)
1. Maggie Williamson very well presented young lady who handled her dog well which was only a puppy, moving round the ring performing the required pattern asked for and changing hands when required with nice straight lines and corners. She was able to show her dogs teeth correctly whilst keeping control of her dog on the table which is quite hard with a puppy but handled it well. Able to answer my questions about her dog adequately. Confidence is key.
2. Kate Byrne another well presented young lady and a very good handler. This was a close decision between 1st and 2nd place. Again she was able to show her dogs teeth correctly and answer my questions well. Performed her pattern well and switched hands when required.
