Throughout the year, talented young handlers have qualified for the national finals – and on Saturday, December 13, during Stockholm Hundmässa 2025, we’ll find out who will be crowned Sweden’s Junior Handler of the Year!

In the morning, the judge will evaluate all finalists, and the final placements will be decided during the afternoon finals in the main ring.
