JUNIOR EDUCATION & JUNIOR PARTICIPATION MATTERS


There is much more to the Sport of Purebred Dogs than just Dog Showing and Junior Showmanship, so the Colorado Junior Foundation applauds Clubs that provide Educational Programs and other Events at their Dog Shows!  And we want to help you by providing materials and even helping you run activities at your shows!

The Canine Anatomy Poster Boards shown below)are available for our Colorado Junior Foundation Clubs if they want to use them.



FYI - Juniors Like to Help!

It is so important for juniors to participate in

Dog Clubs and to help other juniors!

These were some awesome Junior Helpers

at the 2023 Arapahoe Kennel Club Show.


Learning about Dogs is Important!

Most kids are very open to learning and most will listen , watch, and soak up the dog information.

You  just have to have it there for them!

Ps - Treats/Prizes are helpful to get their attention.


Make things Fun for your Juniors!

Learning can be lots of Fun.  And it's Fun to watch Juniors helping other Juniors learn too!

Tip - Make sure you have Good Handouts, and don't be surprised when Adults come over too!
