 I never thought of it as having anything to do with experience, only age.  
In the dog show world, "juniors" doesn't mean "inexperienced."    It's 
"Junior Showmanship," and there are no "Adult Showmanship" classes.  It's a 
whole different game than the one the adults are playing - and the juniors 
are eligible to compete against adults in the regular classes, where (in 
theory) it's  the dogs, not the handlers,  being judged.
