Conversations this weekend sparked my motivation in stirring up the Junior interest again.... so for those of you out there who may also be interested in Junior Handling, please JOIN OUR JUNIOR HANDLING YAHOO GROUP!!! This is not an official part of a the Juniors Committee, but none-the-less a friendly group intended to give Juniors (and those with something to offer juniors) a venue to share thoughts, ideas, brags, questions, show dates, etc! http://groups.yahoo.com/group/GSDJuniorHandlers/ If you are a: -Junior who loves the German Shepherd... -Junior who shows others breeds, and would like to learn more about the GSD... -Breeder/exhibitor with dogs in need of training and handling... -Professional Handler with advice to share... -Judge with critiques and knowledge to offer... -Just a friend wanting to offer support.... PLEASE join in our discussions! Our National is quickly approaching... what a great time to unite together. Traffic in the group has been slow recently, but I know with busy summer show schedules, a lot of you Juniors out there have a lot to catch up on!

We do have a closed membership list, meaning only those approved may join (weeding out those with invalid requests), we also have general rules of the group posted on the main page, with guidelines to never post personal information such as address, phone numbers, etc. Each post is read, and if discussions ever stray, we can certainly block messages from continuing. If anyone has concerns or other safety guards they would like to see put in place, I will certainly accommodate what I can. Its important to all of us to have a SAFE place to have discussions. The group has been open for nearly a year, and to my knowledge there has not been negative feedback.*** --------------------------------- Talk is cheap. Use Yahoo!
