Ring Steward Training
The Richland Kennel Club is always looking for individuals who would like to help ring steward at our dog show. You are not required to be a handler or even own a show dog, the Club will train you for the position. If you are interested in learning how to ring steward please email the richlandkc386@gmail.com and watch this short video by Elizabeth Winans. Half the battle when learning anything new is knowing the terminology and the Club can offer in-person training to help with this barrier.
