I 2nd that!! Would be a VERY good thing to atleast have the age be the same
as AKC's but I have to say that my friend's son who is not yet old enough to
be a junior per AKC has been showing in the breed ring since he was 5 or
so...those are the kids who will be the future why not let them show in the
junior's ring??
