Not an offical AKC committee.... just a "group" of willing volunteers under the GSDCA. A group that could collect information on Juniors, help them get information they need on specialty shows providing junior showmanship classes, connect juniors with handlers at shows, try to find some way to help raise money be it through 50/50 or something to provide resources (luncheon) or something at the National and/or futurities for juniors to get together and learn/collaborate ideas. Something to give them the foundation they need to move forward in becoming active in our breed.... whatever that need may be.

I'm in a board thing thats all juniors and we debated about it for a while. There was a petition going around for a while, but thats were it stopped. Its sounds soooo cool, too bad it probably will never happen. <3 Melissa Chavez <3 (AKA Miss Jr. Handler) __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
