Jessica Bootes, herself a former young handler, is appointed lead for our Junior Section and is available to provide support and advice to youngsters, particularly those wishing to participate in any of our Club events. 

The Club offers Junior Handling classes at our shows, both for the younger age group of 6 – 11 years and the older age group from age 12 to 16 years. 

The Kennel Club has a dedicated Young Kennel Club section which is set up to encourage youngsters to get involved and meet likeminded people, and bond with their dogs. 

A Junior Handling Association is also in place for those who wish to become involved in handling. 

If you have any questions, then please get in touch.
