In December, I was lucky enough to interview two of our current “greats,” icons to many, each with decades of experience in dogs. For February, I shifted toward the next generation by interviewing twenty-year-old Riley Capton, a first generation handler who boasts numerous achievements in recent years. After successes such as being ranked the #1 Terrier Junior in 2019 and 2020 and placing at Westminster, Riley has continued to work for handlers and is making a new name for herself as a junior’s judge. She currently attends California Polytechnic State University for undergraduate studies in Animal Science on the Pre-Veterinary track. When she is not at college, she works as a veterinary intern under Dr. Dana Bleifer. I asked her the same questions, and she offers a similar but new perspective on the issues.
