Canadian Junior Championship As has been the case for the past two years, junior handlers (18 years or under on December 31, 2018) who qualify at their Regionals and enter the Nationals will be competing for dual aggregate rankings: once in their dog s height class, and once as junior handlers. In addition to the Top Junior Handler trophy for the Junior Championship winner, rosettes will be awarded for the top ten aggregate scores by juniors. This class is a true Canadian Junior Championship, and gives the country s élite young competitors their chance to stand on the podium, in the spotlight, and receive the applause they deserve. There is no additional entry fee. Please make sure you check the Handler 18 years of age or under box on their National Championship entry form. When you do this, you will automatically be entered in the Junior Championship class and you will still be competing in your dog s height class.
