Exciting CanAm News!
Debuting at CanAm 2023 - A special Junior Handler's Class!
This special class of competition was approved by the Executive Director to highlight our amazing Junior Handlers. The Junior Handler Class will be offered only on Friday of CanAm.
Junior Handler Class Rules:
Junior Handler Class will operate under Open Class rules of racing, except all Handlers must be under the age of 18. Dogs will earn points as they would in Open Class. This class pits Junior Handlers in an exciting ring-match against one another in a skills test against the clock. Junior Handlers may be assisted in the ring by adults, but adults should not be the primary handler. Support staff, such as ball shaggers, boxloaders, captains may be adults.
Junior Handler Teams will receive placement only against other Junior Handler Teams. If insufficient entries are received, NAFA reserves the right to combine Junior Handler Class entries with other Open Class entries. Any dogs entered into the Junior Handler Class may NOT be listed on an additional Open Class time sheet. Dogs be may be listed on 1 other timesheet in the Multibreed or Regular Class.
For more information or help in coordinating with other Junior Handlers to form a team, contact Jayne McQuillen at: [email protected]
