ALBION — Kids sit at a plastic table in the Knights Building, fingers resting on plastic buzzers.
“Name one of the non-core vaccines,” asked Kayla Sucy-Dengler, dog program supervisor, as a buzzer goes off and a light flashes green. The first answer of “rabies” was incorrect, but the next contestant answered correctly with “lyme.”
The crowd full of other kids and some adults murmured among themselves as they tried to answer the questions themselves and got more excited as the kids on stage honed in on the correct answers at the Orleans County 4-H Fair.
The Dog Knowledge Competition is divided into two age groups: the junior division for kids under 13 and senior for contestants 14 and older. A total of 16 kids entered.
“They are asked knowledge questions about the dog program, dog health, breeds, lots of different topics,” said Sucy-Dengler. “It’s actually based off a testing program we have here in the county.”
Some kids get really competitive, she said. Since Orleans County started the testing program, the kids all study hard for it, so they know the material.
About 40 questions are prepared for each group.
A new competition returning this year is Junior Judging. It had been discontinued around 2008 and it’s where the kids judge people — their parents — on dog handling and the person closest to Sucy-Dengler’s score wins.
“So they get a little bit of a kick out of that,” she said.
Sucy-Dengler said she’s very excited about Junior Judging being back because it was one of her favorite classes when she was a 4-Her. She said she likes putting herself in someone else’s shoes and figuring out how they are going to judge things, and found out she was fairly good at it.
There are nine participating in Junior Judging and winners will be announced Friday.
