Junior Showmanship

The Penn Ridge Kennel Club supports AKC Junior Showmanship activities as a way to encourage young people in our sport, realizing that today’s Juniors will go on to become tomorrow’s successful breeders, exhibitors, judges and club members who will take over as guardians of the AKC purebred dogs that we love.

Handlers of Tomorrow

In addition to supporting our Juniors Classes with great prizes, including all day passes to HERSHEYPARK, Savings Bonds, Vendor Bucks and sponsor prizes, Penn Ridge Kennel Cub is also proud to present, with other Sponsors the AKC, Oster, and Royal Canin, an AKC Registered Handlers “Handlers of Tomorrow” Juniors Clinic where our professional handlers and AKC Executive Field Representatives donate their time and expertise to help our Juniors better their handling skills.

At the Handlers of Tomorrow Clinic the Penn Ridge Kennel Club also sponsors a raffle with great prizes, this year to include a 15” Flat Screen Color TV, HERSHEYPARK tickets, as well as lunch provided for the participants of the clinic.

The 2009 Handlers of Tomorrow clinic will be held on Friday, August 7. There is no fee to attend this clinic and much to learn from working with the experts. Juniors do not need to be entered in the show to attend the clinic. Registration will be at the show on August 7.
