Alright dumb questions i guess. what are the ages for a person to be considered youth like 9-16 years old or something like that? And at every bench show do they automatically have a youth group or show or whatever if there's a youth competitor??? Got a young sister in law and a couple of cousins im trying to get interested in hounds and i know nothing about the bench showing gig but figured it would be a good way to peek their interest. thanks for the help in advance.
