Young handler competition foreseen on Continental 2024
The CCSC has notified that a Young Handlers competition is going to be held during Continental 2024.
We are calling on candidate young handlers (equal to or less than 21 years young on 1 Jan 2024), interested in participating in this, to register via the following link:

If several candidates make themselves known, a selection procedure must be drawn up
Status Young Handler
Young-Handler (YH)
We received only 1 application after our appeal. The aim is to give opportunities to youth and gain experience.
We are giving the YH a special "status" . We let the YH start in KL2 to compete there, build level and also give a success experience. In addition, the YH will be guaranteed to participate in KL3 competitions so that BW will always be included in the starting lists. Likewise, the YH will get a starting place in the National Championships. Specifically, this means that the previous start in KL3 will lapse and the Class 3 results will be registered as "Outside Competition".
The YH is thus an exception to our regulations regarding the transition from class 1 to class 2 and to class 3.
This is to protect the YH from the inexperience of carelessly and sometimes under pressure from outsiders to change class too quickly and then not being able to go back. We would therefore like to grant young handlers this exception.
As we have only 1 candidate, he will represent us at EC and WC as YH.
Registration young handlers
The young handlers return to the scene. The latest editions of the World Championships and Continental Championships considered devoting a section of the competition to the young handlers.
The FSB has therefore decided to issue a call to the community sheep handlers to find out how many potential young handlers could be nominated to compete in the young sheep handlers' competition section.
We therefore ask candidates to register on the site together with their dog(s) via the link
At the same time, we ask for more detailed information about the dogs so that a possible file to the Continental and World can easily be submitted.
Apart from the information, we are also thinking of a competition to give the young handlers experience in selection trials.Registration is open until 15 October 2022.
A call for young handlers for the Continental 2021 competition
