Westminster isn't just for professional grown-up handlers, kids take part too.

Since 1934, Westminster has offered Junior Showmanship classes. Originally called "Childrens Handling," the competition is now called Junior Showmanship (I can see why they changed the name). Kids aged 10-18 compete with a variety of dog breeds. The kids are judged based solely on their handling skills, not on the dog's breed traits.
