I respectfully disagree with the statement that junior dogs must live with the 
junior handler in order for the junior and the dog to be a competitive team.

Ariel was not able to have a GSD at home with her family yet she did VERY well 
with the two dogs she co-owned who lived with me.  Her first junior dog was a 
finished champion who was thrilled to be back on the show circuit.  Ariel had 
talent, which helped, and the dog LOVED dog shows, was bright, trainable (Ariel 
had him walking into a stack and holding his stand for bait) and not dog 
aggressive.  Together the 2 of them went Best Junior at Eastern Dog Club in 
Boston - a very prestigious win with. LARGE junior entry (80 or more).  So, it 
can be done.
