JUNIOR HANDLING
6 - 11 years
1. Alice Hill. Very neatly and tidily dressed. Only 8 years old but already such a competent handler, very businesslike and seemingly so calm, doing exactly as asked if inclined to go just a little too far ahead of her dog with over-enthusiasm at times. How lucky the breed is to have such a keen young girl of such potential talent in their midst!
12 - 16 years
1. Min Witheyman. A really excellent handler with no exaggerations, talking quietly to her charge and, simply, did everything right to make the dog the most important part of their twosome. Again, what a joy to have a handler with her obvious ability, patience and understanding within the breed!
