JR handling is a great way for kids to learn responsibility and respect for
animals as well as respect for process. not all kids enjoy it a lot but it
is certainly a terrific experience. My daughter did it when she was 12 and
had a pretty good time but never had a real passion for it. if she shows an
interest, definitely encourage her!

Thats is what I was told by a friend who use to show her Shar pei. I wanted
to go for the experince too.

in & out easily.

I am still in contact the breeder who I got my Mia from, She was upset when
I told her Mia passed, she said she knew
Mia had a great long life with us. I always wanted to do agility with our
dogs, we like to travel & our dogs go on vacation with us.
My daughter has the same passion for animals like I do, maybe she will be a
jr handler?
