1 2018 Senior A & B Showmanship and Senior Your and Your Dog Questions Bank Youth Ages as of January 1, 2018 Show Committees and Judges: Please use these questions when interviewing youth for Senior A & B Showmanship and Senior You and Your Dog Judging during the H project year. Judges may also select any of the questions posted for Juniors and Intermediates for Senior B Showmanship exhibitors. Only use the questions from this question bank for Senior A and You and Your Dog Exhibitors. There are separate sets of questions for use for You and Your Dog Interview Judging and All About Dogs Interview Judging held during Companion Animal Day at the Ohio State Fair. These can be found at Recommended use: Judges can select 2 or 3 sets of 6 questions and put each set in an envelope, allowing exhibitors to choose 1 of the envelopes, or use the same 6 questions for all seniors at a show. Select less difficult questions for Senior A Showmanship handlers. Also, select questions that are relevant and less difficult for beginning youth taking You and Your Dog. For State Fair Showmanship and You and You and Your Dog, youth will select 1 of 3 envelopes.

As a judge, do not give hints or define a word in the question or statement. Youth are expected to know the meaning of the words. Each question is worth 10 points. If one question asks for multiple answers, then give partial credit for each correct answer.
