Junior Fair Dog Show Changes
1. The previous health certificate has been replaced with
the 2005 Ohio State Fair Dog Project Identification Form and Vaccination
Certificate. Vaccinations must be current through August 11, 2005,
for participation in the State Fair Dog Show. Educators may adapt this
certificate for county use.
2. An additional day of non-regular classes has been added
to the State Fair Dog Show. Rally, Brace and Team classes will be held
Thursday, August 11, in the Buckeye Building. Registration for these
classes can be made on the 2005 Ohio State Fair Dog Show Registration Form.
There is no limit to the number of youth who can participate from a county.
Refer to the Rally and Brace and Team Classes documents for additional information.
Also, refer to http://www.akc.org/events/rally/index.cfm for additional information.
3. Major changes have been made to the Graduate Novice,
Open, and Graduate Open obedience classes, including the score sheets.
Discard old score sheets and replace with the 2005 revised ones. We
follow the American Kennel Club (AKC) obedience regulations, and they have
been revised for 2005. Refer to the following document for information
pertaining to obedience classes: 2005 Ohio 4-H Dog Program Obedience
Class Exercise Descriptions. Also, refer to http://www.akc.org/events/obedience/index.cfm
for additional information.
4. Minor changes have been made to the Sub-Novice and Novice
score sheets. Handler and Dog Behavior sections have been modified
to follow AKC regulations. It is not necessary to discard old Sub-Novice
and Novice score sheets; however, please make State Fair participants aware
of what will be maximum and minor point deductions at the Ohio State Fair
Dog Show. These are better identified in the 2005 score sheets.
5. For the Ohio State Fair, youth showing Assistance Dogs
may also show these dogs in Dog Care. They cannot show Assistance Dogs
in Drill Team competition, which was allowed in the past. Youth may
show another dog in either Obedience or Grooming & Handling, if they
show their Assistance Dog in Dog Care.
6. The Showmanship document is an addendum to the Grooming
and Handling project, and will help 4-H’ers be better prepared to show in
Grooming and Handling classes.
7. Refer to the 2005 General Judging
Guidelines for Junior Fair Dog Shows for useful information when planning
a dog show and hiring judges. This information should be shared with
dog show judges, volunteers, and youth.

CALL FOR CARTEENS INSTRUCTORS
Mahoning County 4-H will soon be implementing a teen intervention traffic
safety program for first-time juvenile traffic offenders. As this is
a peer-taught program, we are in need of youth instructors. If you
are between the ages of 16 and 19 and have had no more than one traffic violation,
contact the Extension office for an instructor application. Instructors
will need to possess or be willing to learn good public speaking skills,
be available for four training sessions prior to beginning the program, (twice
a month in May and June), and be able to teach at monthly traffic safety
sessions. The sessions will be on Saturday mornings, and will be two
hours long. Dates have not yet been set. Call the Extension office
for more information.
