Minimum Age For Junior Members`

[Sandra777]

Can someone tell me if there is a minimum age for junior membership in Victoria? Not for handling classes but for actual membership of Vicdogs.

Also, is there a minimum age for a child to handle a dog in a regular show class... in Victoria and in ACT

TIA

I think 16 for membership, with parental permission (but not quite sure)

I have seen kids as young as about 8yrs old handling dogs.

Now I am not 100% sure but I think 7 years is the minimum age for a child to handle in the ring in NSW, I have seen kids this young handling.

in QLD I think its 10 years.

hope this helps.

oh and also to add I think they can join as Junior members from either 7 years or 12 years in NSW, but I think a parent may have to sign something, sorry but it has been years since my boys were that young, lol !
