Now that agility has been around for more than 20 years, there are quite a few kids who have grown up with the sport. Many of the top handlers have started as Juniors - Greg Derrett, Nicola Garrett, Sarah-Jayne Davies and Bruce Currie to name but a few. There are a lot of very good junior handlers right now - and not just in the UK - many of whom are competing successfully against adults in the ring. Today's youngsters are tomorrow's champions.

And if you have a son or daughter or know a promising 'Junior' handler who is 18 or under who would like to be include in the Junior Who's Who page, fill out the attached questionnaire on their behalf or, better yet, get them to do it. If you/they have a picture (with or without their dog), even better. We can scan photos and promise to return them.
