TOY handling for our little ones

Don’t worry, we haven’t forgotten our little ones at the Nitradog Christmas Cup! We are again preparing competition TOY HANDLING!

In Slovakian shows, for security reasons, the “Child and Dog” competition has not been held at international or national shows for several years. However, we want to nurture the passion for dog shows (and pedigree dogs) among our youngest, whose age doesn’t yet allow them to compete in Junior Handling.

Inspired by a lovely Scandinavian competition, we decided to introduce it to our shows. After the very successful premiere in February and the summer event in Veľká Ida, children up to 9 years old can once again experience the excitement of the show. They’ll demonstrate skills like the “up & down” or a circle, but with no worries about a dog running away or pulling the little handler. They will show their toys – whether plush, on wheels, or others.

TOY HANDLING will be open ALL DAYS this time, giving children the opportunity to improve and enjoy each show day. Parental presence is required to sign GDPR forms.

Don’t forget to plan your visit to ACTIVITY RING in Hall M5! Your applause will truly brighten the day for these little participants.

The TOY HANDLING competition is FREE OF CHARGE, but if you want to support this activity, we’d love to see you in the SENIOR HANDLING competition, which subsidizes Toy Handling. More information about Senior Handling will follow.
