Junior Spotlight


Our Juniors are truly a wonderful/talented group of dog handlers.  On This page will will highlight a junior a month.


Local area Junior Savannah Martin, has stepped up to be out Junior Spotlight Reporter and project lead.
Below in her own words, a little about Savannah.


Hey I’m Savannah Martin I’m 13 years old been in the sport for about 4 years. I participate in Junior Showmanship, Conformation, Rally, FastCAT, plus one dog sport that’s not in AKC and that weight pull.


My main dog breeds are Samoyeds, Irish Wolfhounds and Norwegian Elkhounds; but I have shown many breeds and wish to show even more breeds before aging out of Juniors (before I turn 18). 


My family owns Australia Shepherds, and Anatolian Shepherds. I like showing because gives me time to be me and spend time with my dog and makes me feel like me.

Junior ROWAN CHILTON

& her dog BASHIR


Rowan's mother wrote:

She's been working so hard with my boy, showing him to the best of her ability and constantly learning more and more every time she steps in the ring!

At the Colorado Kennel Club show, she got her first two 1st place wins with competition (she's been showing for a year and a half with no success), this was a huge win for her and we watched her confidence grow! And even after she won, she was still such a great sportsman with her fellow juniors! She congratulated the others that won with her, was amazing with those she won over. And she's always looking to help younger Juniors as well!

She's also been showing him in Rally but has been struggling with keeping his focus in the ring, he's been such a butt for her despite all the training he has.

She was really getting discouraged at the Scottsbluff Kennel Club show, had been excused from the ring because she couldn't control him. I was ready to pull him all together, but this girl didn't give up! She went over to the practice ring and continued to practice while waiting for her next walk through! Did her walk through and continued practicing while waiting her turn! She went in and kept his focus through 85% of the course! The judge was beyond impressed and joked she had switched dogs on him. They scored an 89 and got 4th in her class. I'm so proud of her!!!

This kid is going places and I'm excited to be her sister and have the opportunity to watch her progress!
