Entering Dogs in UKC® Licensed Events
Revised January 1, 2003
WHO MAY ENTER DOGS IN UKC LICENSED COONHOUND EVENTS?
| Only United Kennel Club registered Coonhounds may enter UKC Licensed Coonhound events. |
1. THE “REGISTERED OWNER”
The registered owner is the individual whose name and address appears on the front of the Registration Certificate (purple or yellow) or UKC Easy Entry™ Card. If the registered owner utilizes the Registration Certificate (purple or yellow) instead of the UKC Easy Entry™ Card, they may enter the dog in the event provided that the back of the Registration Certificate is blank.
2. THE “NEW OWNER”
The new owner is an individual who has purchased a dog from the registered owner. The new owner may enter the dog provided that the Transfer of Ownership portion of the Registration Certificate (purple or yellow) is completely filled out showing the new owner as the purchaser and the registered owner as the seller. A Registration Certificate that has been signed off on the back cannot be used by an individual other than the new owner.
The registered owner is listed as owner and the new owner as handler for the event. New owners may not enter using the registered owners UKC Easy Entry™ Card.
In the event that the Transfer of Ownership portion of the Registration Certificate is not completely filled out, entry takers must insist that the new owner complete it. The new owner should be warned that they must send the Registration Certificate to UKC for transfer into their name. Once warned, club management has the right to refuse entry at following events. Altered Registration Certificates or UKC Easy Entry™ Cards are not to be accepted at any time. NOTE: The Registered Owner (seller) must fill out the back of the form completely with the exception of new owner’s ignature. With any alterations the Registration Certificate becomes void. UKC cannot be responsible for errors caused by illegible handwriting.
THE PAPERS REQUIRED FOR ENTERING EVENTS
Three different ways to enter. Submit any of the following to entry takers.
1. Registration Certificate (purple or yellow).
2. UKC Easy Entry™ Card.
3. Registration Certificate and degree (Champion or Grand Champion).
ATTENTION!
No copies of Registration Certificates, Pedigrees, Championship, Grand Championship or UKC Easy Entry™ Cards will be accepted.
United Kennel Club will withdraw points for any dogs if it is learned that the proper papers were not presented to the entry takers. Anyone caught placing UKC registration papers on another dog will be barred from registration and/or participation in UKC licensed events.
Clubs not requiring the proper papers risk losing approval to conduct future UKC licensed events. |
THE RIGHT TO REFUSE ENTRY
The local club management has the right to refuse entry to any dog or handler. However, no handler shall be barred on basis of religion, race, color, national origin, age or sex.
Dogs which fulfill the requirements for a UKC Champion or Grand Champion degree in a Nite Hunt, Bench Show, Field Trial or Water Race may be entered in the next level of competition even though they have not been officially notified of their new title by United Kennel Club. Once notified, only the current Easy Entry™ Card, or item #3 above may be used to enter.
This is contingent on the condition that the records kept by the dog’s owners are in accordance with those kept by UKC.
Neither UKC nor the host club are responsible for any mistakes made by the owners of these dogs concerning the dog’s degree.
If it is found that the owner’s records were in error, and the dog had not fulfilled the requirements for a Championship title, all points attained by that dog in the higher level will be considered void.
