Several junior handlers and their All-American Dogs excelled in classes at the AKC Juniors Agility Competition and the AKC Juniors Classic obedience and rally competition held Dec. 11-12 in Orlando, FL, in conjunction with the AKC Agility Invitational. Pictured is Clara Selle and her rescue dog, Selle's Charming Aristocrat CD BN CGC, who won one class and placed in two more in the AKC Juniors Classic!
