The parent club offers an award for juniors in performance. My daughter Won it three times I believe. Problem is there are not a lot of juniors who Actually take the time to train in the performance venues at least not with a GSD. My daughter was the first Junior handler to put a rally title on a GSD when Rally first started. Still proud of her for that. Maybe we need to have some more incentives for our juniors to compete and be recognized For their accomplishments in the performance venues. Just a thought to try and bring some Of the younger generation into the fold. Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.........

Just asking since my "Junior" (by age definition) is no longer a Junior. I see that AKC is now offering discounted entry fees for Juniors in the performance areas if the clubs elect to offer that. Juniors in the performance areas compete with the adults for the same titles and placings, the only difference is, that they are 18 and under.

I have talked to the AKC, and sent a letter today to the GSDCA. I don't want the Fund to become intwined with the GSDCA, but would like the GSDCA to recognize it. Extra stuff is always a good idea. And, keep sending the donations. 100% of what I get is going to the Junior winner. Evan L.

I think the Juniors Chair at the time coordinated it. Then the last couple of years (I think!) the ideas came too late to get it done. Maybe we can get it started earlier this year. ===========================================================================P OST is Copyrighted 2011.
