In the specialty shows where there may only be one junior competing it kind of defeats the point of entering ! I agree with Elizabeth. If this is AKC's ruling then all juniors should complain at once and get them to change it! When you compete in obedience you get a leg now if there is one or more entries. Shouldn't be any different for juniors. You are first off being judged against a standard of excellence.
