Youth Recognition Form
We are adding pages to the GSD Review to recognize significant GSD accomplishments for young people 17 years old or younger. This form will give proper authorization.
Junior Handling Classes
Junior competition has three classes divided by age: Junior (ages 9-11), Intermediate (ages 12-14), and Senior (ages 15-18). Competition for a Best Junior Handler is between the winner of each age group and the Junior/Senior class.
Did you Know?
The Junior program is based on a year-long accumulative point system with the winner receiving the Robert Hamilton Award Trophy at the National. In addition, a GPA Scholastic Award (a $100 savings certificate) is available to the Junior with the highest GPA submitting points.
Junior Handling
We are pleased to again be able to offer both a Seminar and Class for our Junior Handlers. Cindy Petersen will be coordinating these events for our young handlers.
Dates and times for these events, plus sign-up forms will be coming soon!!
