Laura, That is a very good question and I would also like to know the answer as to how AKC looks at that. Anything to encourage our Jrs is important.

Cindy, I don't know if the expenses count as compensation under AKC rules.? Anyone know that answer?? I know that cannot be paid for handling.? However, I think a gift for good work is always appreciated.? I like the Moriah leads and will give a first time GSD Junior a Moriah lead.? GSD books are also a great gift as are any GSD related items.? Anything that keeps them interested in the Breed as not ALL our Juniors started with GSD's.??
