What are the different classes for Juniors?
In AKC the juniors are divided into age groups: juniors (9 years old and under 12 years old), intermediates (12 years old and under 15 years old) and seniors (15 years old and under 18 years old). Within each age group there is a division for experience. Novice is for juniors just starting and Open is for the more experienced handlers. When first competing, you will begin in Novice Classes.
