ce, and prevention while fostering a safe and inclusive environment for all participants and their beloved canine companions.

🌟 SHOW-SAFE Junior Spotlight 🌟
At SHOW-SAFE, we believe the future of our sport is built by supporting, encouraging, and celebrating young people who bring passion, dedication, and kindness to the dog show community.

This week, we're proud to recognize Kylie as our Junior Spotlight!

🐾 What do you enjoy most about attending dog shows?
When I attend a dog show I love seeing the different breeds and interacting with the handlers and talking to judges for what I could do better , my favorite is the groups seeing the breeds just by themselves and being the show-stopping dogs they are.

🐾 What made you fall in love with your breed?
My main breeds now are Min pins and Great Dane. Min pins have feisty energy and incredibly smart, but they are a beautiful breed with having the only correct gate and having energy to do what you want them too. Great Danes are the friendly giants of the dog show world just like min pins they love to learn and are very beautiful and being huge is another reason why I like them.

Thank you, Tina Moran, for helping your Junior share their story with us. We're grateful for juniors like you who help make our dog show community stronger, more welcoming, and brighter for the future.

💚 Thank You, Bluegrass Classic Dog Show 💚
What a fun, welcoming weekend! Huge thanks to Lexington for hosting our Junior Gathering — we loved the laughs, connections, and time with so many amazing young exhibitors. 🐾

And to our incredible volunteers: thank you for the time, energy, and heart you brought all weekend. We couldn't do this without you. 💚

Already counting down to the next one. Until then — keep showing, keep learning, keep looking out for one another, and remember: be SHOW-SAFE. 🐶

🐕🐩🦮🐕‍🦺Happy National Dog Day!
Today we celebrate the dogs that bring us together—the partners who share our homes, our hearts, and our weekends at dog shows.
From a junior's first show dog to a veteran champion, every dog has a unique story and a special place in the lives of those who love them. They teach us patience, responsibility, sportsmanship, and the joy of companionship.
Thank you to the dogs that make this community possible and to the people who dedicate themselves to their care, training, and well-being.
Share a photo of your dog in the comments and tell us what makes them special. We'd love to celebrate them with you!

🌟 SHOW-SAFE Junior Spotlight 🌟
At SHOW-SAFE, we believe a safe and sustainable future for our sport is built by supporting, mentoring, and celebrating young people who bring passion, dedication, and kindness to dog sports.

This week, we're proud to recognize Madison as our Junior Spotlight!
🐾 What do you enjoy most about attending dog shows?
My favorite part of competing in dog shows is furthering the bond between my Golden Retriever, Nala and I. Nala and I have been competing in dog shows for about three years now and it truly has become a huge part of our lives. We have achieved so many of our goals in confirmation including earning best juniors, best puppy, and many placements in breed and junior showmanship.
🐾 What made you fall in love with your breed?
I fell in love with my current breed the Golden Retriever because of their gentle and easy-going nature. I love that Golden Retrievers enjoy many different sports, making them well rounded. I also love that they are really good family dogs. I am a big sister to three sisters and one brother so having such a social and easy-going dog that loves hanging out with kids is really important!

Thank you, Alicia MacMillan, for helping your Junior share their story with us. We're grateful for juniors like you who help make our dog show community stronger, more welcoming, and brighter for the future.
