I was basing my question on this document:
Junior Showmanship
Conformation
Junior Showmanship
Regulations, Guidelines
for Judging Juniors in
Conformation, Juniors
in Performance Event
Regulations
Page 16:
A Guide To
Performance and Companion Events Competition
for Juniors
Section 1. Eligibility as a Junior. Any Junior who
is at least 9 years old and under 18 years old on the day
of the show is eligible to compete as a Junior in
Performance Events. The Junior must obtain a Junior
Number prior to the day of the event. The ownership
requirement is the same as for participating in
Conformation Junior Showmanship: the dog must be
owned or co-owned by the Junior Handler or the Junior
Handler?s father, mother, brother, sister, uncle, aunt,
grandfather, or grandmother, including corresponding
step and half relations, or by a permanent member of
the Junior Handler?s household.
Now I see that there is a Revision:
Revisions to the
Conformation Junior Showmanship Regulations,
Guidelines for Judging Juniors in Conformation,
Juniors in Performance Events Regulations
Effective March 2008
This insert is issued as a supplement to the
Conformation Junior Showmanship Regulations,
Guidelines for Judging Juniors in Conformation,
Juniors in Performance Events Regulations
Amended to October 2007.
A Guide To
Performance and Companion Events
Competition
for Juniors
Section 1. Eligibility as a Junior. Any
Junior who is under 18 years old on the day
of the show is eligible to compete as a
Junior in Performance and Companion
Events.
Does this mean that the below section no longer applies to performance and companion events? Or just that the lower limit of 9 has been removed?
The Junior must obtain a Junior
Number prior to the day of the event. The ownership
requirement is the same as for participating in
Conformation Junior Showmanship: the dog must be
owned or co-owned by the Junior Handler or the Junior
Handler?s father, mother, brother, sister, uncle, aunt,
grandfather, or grandmother, including corresponding
step and half relations, or by a permanent member of
the Junior Handler?s household.
