The Search for the UK Junior Handler of the Year Begins
The prestigious Junior Handler of the Year Final will be taking place at London’s biggest dog event, Discover Dogs 2009 and promises to be as nail-biting as ever!
The exciting competition is supported by the Kennel Club’s insurance providers, Agria Pet Insurance, which is proud to support a competition that encourages the young, aspiring dog enthusiasts of the future.
Over 250 young handlers competed at the Junior Handling Association semi finals at Richmond Championship Dog Show in September, and they were whittled down to just 14 of the best young dog handlers from around the UK, aged from 6 to 16. The finalists must demonstrate their dog handling ability and rapport with not only their own dog, but an unfamiliar dog too.
Not to be missed - only one youngster can be crowned Junior Handler of the Year 2009 and have the honour of representing the United Kingdom in the International Final at DFS Crufts 2010.
The UK final will commence at 10am on Saturday 14th November at Discover Dogs at Earls Court in London.
