Devin ~ Junior Handler
Devin is my pick of the litter for Junior Showmanship, as well as all things dog related. He has a natural talent for working with dogs and shows an interest in handling, health and nutrition, obedience and trick training. He is very interested in canine behavior.
When Devin turned 9 years of age, he began showing in Junior Showmanship. First time out, Devin took 2nd place in a class of 4-5 children at the Bull Terrier Club of Philadelphia. After that, both Devin and Zafra took some time off to mature and pursue other things. At 11 years of age, Devin returns to the show ring to see if he still likes it. Yes, he does. He moves right out of the Novice Class undefeated. Congratulations to you Devin!
