Our judges Group (Oregon Dog Judges) holds seminars every January, in conjunction with the Rose City Cluster (Portland, OR). All revenue, after paying the expenses for the seminars, goes into an educational fund for Juniors and is awarded to the top qualifiers every year. How about GSD breeder/judges "donating" some money each year to a fund a National Junior Showmanship Educational Fund to be awarded to the class winners and Best Junior. I would be willing to donate $50.00....who would be willing to match me??

I think it encourages kids more if things are shared. What about....50% of what gets donated goes to best junior at the national, and the rest gets divided between the class winners. It is great when more than one kid goes home with that positive feeling and wants to come back and do this again. Post an address or account etc so we can donate, and thanks for thinking of this Evan. Molly In a message dated 6/14/2012 11:11:51 A.M.
