JUNIOR SHOWMANSHIP INFORMATION AND BRAGS

Junior Handlers are the FUTURE of our Sport, the Juniors on this page are dedicated hard working youngsters that the BTCLA, Inc is very proud to call their own. At home, the Juniors learn from their parents how to properly care for the dogs. They have been taught how to properly groom the dogs for competition. They attend handling classes to fine tune their skills as handlers. Some of these Juniors apprentice under Professional handlers at shows.

The Boston Terrier Club of America awards certificates to the Top 20 Boston Terrier Junior Handlers in the nation each year.
