42 – Juniors Speak Out: Listen to the Wisdom – Jr. Showmanship Judges
Juniors are Wise Beyond Their Years
Little did we know when Laura Reeves put the question out on Facebook asking the simple question…
Is there a difference between competing in Junior Showmanship and the regular conformation ring?
We would be overwhelmed with a multitude of intelligent, thought-provoking responses!
Juniors of all ages, aged-out Juniors, and Juniors that are now judging Juniors have a lot to say!
Here is a list of some of the best! Thank You!

LOVE the article. Thanks. I just wish more juniors would get involved in local kennel clubs. We need new ideas and help.
Great article and so encourage Juniors as they are the future of our DOG WORLD. My foundation Boston Terrier Bitch was shown by a Junior that Specialed her to place 7 out of 8 times in the Group. She was the only Junior Handler in the state of Tennessee to qualify for Westminster that year 30 years ago. Was a great handler in any Breed. She grew up with Evelyn Gregory, Rusty Howard and several others that went on to become handlers and judges.
