Incorporation of Eliminating Faults in UKC Breed Standards
Recently, the UKC made the decision to incorporate the concept of Eliminating Faults in several of our breed standards. These replaced height disqualifications in those standards. In most cases, the breed standard revisions will be effective July 1, 2009.
An Eliminating Fault is a fault serious enough that it eliminates a dog from receiving any awards at a conformation event. Height disqualifications were changed to Eliminating Faults because UKC recognizes that a dog that does not meet a height requirement might well be of significant value to a breeding program. We feel that removing a dog from the gene pool for being too big or too small removes a choice that is better left for breeders to consider. The Eliminating Fault effectively removes a dog from competition but does not preclude that dog from being used in a thoughtful breeding program.

Of the six breeds of UKC registered Coonhounds, only the Plott Hound doesn’t trace its ancestry to the foxhound; and of the breeds, we can be most certain of the Plott’s heritage and the men most responsible for its development.
The ancestors of today’s Plott were used for boar hunting in Germany many years ago. Jonathon Plott left his native Germany and came to this country in 1750. For the rest of the story behind the modern Plott Hound, follow this link. |
