Probably a stupid question because I'm new to this
Does a dog been handled in junior handling have to be 6 months old same as in the breed classes? Our pup will be 2 weeks short of the 6 months for the lka

Yes it does need to be over 6 months.

Dogs entered in handling classes must also be entered in their breed or variety classes at that show and 6 months is the minimum age there too. :)

Ah right, thank you for clearing that up, looks like January will be the first outing then, gives us more time to train when the little one arrives
