Sorry, but I couldn't help laughing, thinking of toddlers riding stick GSDs
into the ring! Too much coffee, I guess!

encouraged to bring said pup and kid, show or pet , to participate????
Wow ,
imagine the interest.
I think this is a great idea! If each regional club adopted it,
imagine the impact in 10 years!
It would be a simple thing, a club , non AKC special class, more like a
presentation. But allowing the little guys (under ten) to participate and show
off their dogs. Each child gets a token gift and it could be done easily
during a lunch break. Each child wins.
This is done at a very early age in lead line and walk trot classes with horses
, they REALLY get into it. There are even stick horse classes for the teeny
tiny tots. It generates enthusiasm with the kids, and "hooks" them early.
The problem with waiting until the age of ten is by then , kids are usually
already involved in other things, and have lost no interest anymore, or have no
time to be involved with dogs.
Our membership is aging and waning dramatically, we have few
replacements....gotta start somewhere.
