ARC Junior Showmanship Program
Mission and Purpose
The primary goal of the program is to promote and encourage juniors to
participate in the sport of AKC events with Rottweilers, as well as
becoming active in the American Rottweiler Club.
This will be achieved through offering incentives such as, but not
limited to, scholarships to help with continued education and stipends
offered for the Junior Showmanship competition at the Westminster Dog
Show and the AKC/Eukanuba National Championship Dog Show
We will remain supportive and encourage them, whenever possible, to
maintain enthusiastic interest in the sport of dogs and with Rottweilers
in particular.

Showmanship Program (PDF), and the $250 stipend available if you
attend Westminster or the AKC/Eukanuba National Championship Dog Show

MY EUKANUBA TRIP
by Francisco Sanguino
In order to be able to qualify for the AKC/Eukanuba show
in junior showmanship, you need to have a 3.0 grade point average and
5 wins. I attained my 5th win at the 2007 ARC National Specialty in
Florida.
At times, I didn’t know if I’d get my 5 wins because I
was (and am) very new to dog showing. Because I turned 18 in June of
2007, I didn’t have the full year to get them. I’m so glad
I didn’t give up because it was great showing in Long Beach. When
I aged out, I had 10 wins.
AKC/Eukanuba was held in Long Beach, CA. I drove out there with my
friend, Dana Flint and our two Rottweilers, Reese (BIS, AM/CAN. CH.
Raden’s Relentless. AM/CAN. CD, RE, BH, CGC) and Rumor (Raden’s
Indiscretion. AM/CAN. CD, RE, CGC, RTD). It was a long drive, but a
lot of fun, especially when we went through Las Vegas at night. It was
gorgeous.
While we went so that I could show Reese in Junior Showmanship, we
also went because my dog, Rumor, won the AKC’s ACE Award in the
Exemplary Companion category. It was as much of an honor to win the
award as it was to qualify for junior showmanship.
Out of 40+ juniors in my preliminary class, I made it to the top 8.
I was very proud of myself to be among the final ones before the finals.
It was a really nice show with lots of room for everyone. We stayed
at the host hotel, so we were on site for everything.
I’m so glad that I began showing in junior showmanship because
it introduced me to a sport I truly love and allowed me to meet a ton
of great people.
