PREPARING
FOR OUR FUTURE....SOMERSET HILLS
DEBUTS THE PEEWEE CLASS !
by Sue Goldberg
Our goal was to introduce youngsters ages 5
through 9 years old,
especially those new to AKC, to Junior
Showmanship, giving them a
safe, positive experience that would
hopefully entice them to continue
to participate and become more
involved our sport. The PeeWee class
is neither a competition nor a
handling class. Each
PeeWee unit consisted of the child,
his or her parent or guardian, and
their dog. We welcomed purebreds,
AKC registered or not, as well as
mixed breeds. The class was
pre-entered and a nominal entry fee was
charged, merely as some assurance
that the PeeWee would actually
show up!
