The Total Junior Award recognizes the Total Junior Members who have successfully trained and participated with their dogs in multiple UKC Dog Events Programs. To be eligible for this award, a participant must earn points from the UKC licensed Junior Showmanship classes and at least two of the following performance events: Agility, Dog Sport, Obedience and/or Weight Pull. Points for this award may be accumulated from all eligible events and classes. However, if point totals from any single event exceed 60 percent of the Junior Members total combined points, the Junior Member is disqualified from being eligible for this award.  All Junior members eligible for the award will then be ranked by their Total points earned to determine the Total Junior Award winner.The Total Junior award is aligned with the UKC Total Dog™ philosophy of “Our Dogs Do Stuff” and rewards the Junior Member's substantial involvement in a variety of events

Monica finished in the Top 10 in her Region in Junior Showmanship, Agility and Weight Pull and will therefore be invited to compete in all 3 of these events in July at the International Dog Show in Richmond,
Indiana.  This event, called Premier, is the UKC version of AKC's Westminster.  Additionally, her dog Carsten, finished on the UKC Year End All Star list as: tied for first in his division for Terrier Racing - Steeple and was #2 in Terrier Racing - Flat.  She will receive her Total Junior Award at this event.
