AKC Announces Junior Mentor Program

Shih Tzu ShowFrom the Dog Lady’s Mailbag:

The American Kennel Club (AKC®), the world’s largest dog registry, leading industry authority and advocate for dogs, is proud to announce the launch of the AKC Junior Mentor Program.

The goals of the AKC Junior Mentor Program are to provide Juniors just entering the sport or those looking to sharpen their skills (mentees) with a positive role model and friend who will help them on their journey to become an accomplished Junior; and, to provide experienced Juniors (mentors) the opportunity to improve their own skills while sharing their experiences. Mentors will provide advice and support in topics such as handling, grooming, proper dress and behavior, sportsmanship and more. Participating in the Junior Mentor Program as a mentor or mentee counts toward the number of activities required to become a Junior Ambassador, a program that recognizes Juniors for being active in the sport.

In case you missed it (as I did), you can still see the Rescue Dog Show on the Hallmark Channel’s website or on their app. Categories included such characteristics as Best in Snoring, Best in Underbite, Best in Wiggle Butt, and Best in Kissing.

No spoilers here, but it’s an event you don’t want to miss!

Until next time,
Good day, and good dog!
