 | | The U.K.C. has always had a Total Dog Concept; that is, we are a registry designed to promote the conformation, looks, overall athleticism, instinct, and trainability of a breed. |
 | | At the U.K.C. Premier Show (where professional handlers may not show a dog unless they own it) we had 17 dogs qualify for a U.K.C. Total Dog Award which means they were judged best male or female in their breed AND received a qualifying score in obedience or agility. |
 | | In addition to the typical junior showmanship classes for children 8 to 17 years of age, UKC also offers non-competitive classes for pee-wees (age 2 to 4) and sub-juniors (4-7) where their parents are allowed in the ring. |
