November 2009 Employee of the Month | |
Andrew Johnson
Customer Service Representative
Andrew has worked at UKC a little over three years, since August of 2006. He is currently working full time and attending college, his goal being a Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration. He graduated from Portage (Michigan) Northern High School in 2005, and is currently attending Kalamazoo Valley Community College, for one last semester, and then will be attending Western Michigan University. After learning about United Kennel Club, he thought it would be a great place to learn a lot.
As a Customer Service Representative, he works in the Registration Department, helping customers solve their registration problems as well as processing DNA kit orders, and over-seeing single registrations.
Andrew says he likes working with our customers and being able to help them. Also, all the employees are great to work with and make the job better.
He didn't have much of a dog background, if any, before coming to UKC. He does have four UKC registered Toy Fox Terriers but doesn't compete in any events.
When he is not busy working, attending college or working, Andrew likes to play sports, his favorite being soccer, which he has been playing for many years. Other hobbies include working on cars and going to the gun range.
His personal goals include learning as much as he can, both at work and in college. “The more I learn the more efficient I will become at my job as a whole.”

Originally bred to retrieve from water, the modern Labrador Retriever has proven to be one of the most versatile breeds, excelling in hunt tests and field trials, in obedience and agility events, and also as service dogs. The ancestor of the Labrador Retriever was the St. John's Retriever, a smaller version of the Newfoundland. The Labrador Retriever was recognized by the United Kennel Club in 1947. |
