About Cheryl
What is the Junior Handlers of Kern County? Unlike the regular breed classes, in Junior Showmanship the Handler is judged on their abilities to handle their breed of dog not the dog’s conformation, how the Handler follows ring procedures, and how well they (Handler and dog) work as a team. Why show in Junior Showmanship? Boys and girls that show in Junior Showmanship gain knowledge that only being in the junior ring can teach, teaching confidence in their handling abilities. The more the Junior Handler is in the junior ring the more confident they become in their own abilities and ring procedures, which in turns reflects the way they present their dog not only in the junior ring but also in the breed ring. It also teaches sportsmanship, to be humble when you win and to be graces when you lose. Junior Handlers of Kern County Events The JHKC hold Junior Showmanship handling classes for beginners to advanced, have BI-monthly meetings that include learning about their breed, structure, teach proper grooming for their breed including ears and teeth, introduce them to obedience, rally, and agility. Also, the JHKC holds at least one (1) Really Fun Match a year. Mainly, the JHKC is a club for Junior Handlers that want to excel in the sport of Dog Shows. How do you become a JHKC member?
