Pee Wee 

Pee Wee is a fun and free Special Attraction for children aged 5 to 9, as a Pre-Junior Showmanship activity. The safety of all children, dogs and adults are the top priority. The ring will be managed by a licensed AKC Junior’s Judge. The Judge will explain the process and give simple directions. There will be no showing of dog teeth/bites. Please note the following important information: 

  • Dogs must be at least 4 months of age 

  • Dogs must have a proper collar and lead. 

  • Border Collies with AKC, PAL, and ILP numbers are eligible. 

  • No bitches in season are allowed. 

  • Pee Wees and dogs must be accompanied in the ring by a parent or guardian or another appropriate responsible handler. 

  • At the Judge’s discretion a second lead may be required to be put on the dog for additional adult control.
