Hi

Guess the subject says it all, can you go in handling classes with a dog that is on the Import Register, after all its the handler being judged not the dog,does anyone know the answer.
Jenny B

Don't know the answer but I handled my aussies in JH when they were still an import!  THough normally I was handling a border collie!!!!!!  No I wasn't, when I handle a border collie I handle a dog with a tail!!!!!  lol, but theres no problems with Imported dogs in junior handling apart from some stupid judges may think your handling a crossbreed....I don't know how that works BUT....lol

I didn't think that imports were allowed to be entered in anything but Import Register classes?  As they're not allowed into any other side of showing ie stakes classes I didn't think that they were allowed in juniour handling either.  Wd. love to hear from someone in the know :d

I thought as long as the dog was entered somewhere in the show then it could be shown in junior handeling

I know that at the moment there are 2 girls showing Bergamascoes in Junior handling and doing very well - I seem to think they even qualified for the YKC handling at crufts this year (although YKC handling has now been opened up for cross-breeds as well at YKC events). A few years ago another import was shown in JH and I think competed and placed at Richmond - so it has been done, although not sure what the rules are regarding it!

Thanks everyone, I phoned the KC today and yes they can go into the classes, so thats it now daughter will be starting to have a go, just got to brush up on the skills needed now and get a good book on it.

Jenny

If you want your daughters always welcome to e-mail me if she wants any questions being answerd (or you)  I will always be happy to help any junior handlers, e-mail me at chatterbox@roanjora.co.uk any questions you have!

Ah Jenny just looked at your profile, I hope that they do as well with your daugther as with you :d  Tell the two golden girls that Anton sends them big sloppy kisses !!  Oh and so does Lastar my new on loan boy !!

Thanks Di,

When are we gonna see Lastar at a show, have you entered him at any Champ shows yet, I cant wait to see him.

Jenny
