XI. United Kennel Club policy on Show Site Changes and Canceled events.
*A. United Kennel Club policy on Show Site Changes. When a club has to change their location after it has been published in the Upcoming Events Listing of BLOODLINES, the following procedures must be followed to assure adequate notice of the changes is given to all exhibitors that may attend the event.
*1. The club must notify UKC of the event site change and provide the following:
a. Reason for the event site change,
b. The City and State location of the new event site location,
c. Driving directions to the new event site location
d. And the distance in travel time from the old location to the new location.
*2. Upon UKC approval of the new event site, the club must notify all exhibitors who have preentered the event of the change of location and include directions to the new show site.
*3. Clubs must send out notification of the event site change to all exhibitors who were mailed a Premium List for the event.
*4. The club may be required to have signs posted at the old show site directing exhibitors to the new location. Additionally, the club should, if at all possible, provide someone at the old show site to direct exhibitors to the new location.
*5. Because of the change of location, it is possible that exhibitors might miss the Day of Show entry deadline time. To accommodate these exhibitors, the club must be prepared to extend the Day of Show entry deadline and the show start time. Driving time between the old and new locations
should be used as a guideline in setting the new entry deadlines and show start times. The club must post a sign with the extended entry times and start of show times at the site.
*6. Clubs must refund any pre-entry fee(s), upon the exhibitor’s written request, made prior to or at the show, for any dog that was not exhibited due to the change in location.
*B. United Kennel Club policy on Canceled events.
Clubs wishing to cancel an approved/published event must submit the reason why the event is being cancelled. The cancellation request must be submitted in writing and the letter of cancellation must contain the signatures of two officers of the club that is canceling the event. Permission to cancel an event must be received from UKC before the club sends notification to the judges and exhibitors that the event has been cancelled. The decision to refund license fees in whole or in part shall be based on the following criteria:
1. A club that cancels its event before the application deadline date and before the application has been processed by UKC will receive a full refund.
2. A club that cancels its event before the application deadline date but after the application has been processed by UKC will receive a refund equal to the license fees less $20 per application.
3. A club that cancels its event after the event information has been published in BLOODLINES magazine shall receive no refund of license fees.
4. In addition to the above rules regarding licensing fees, and depending on the individual circumstances, UKC may also require the club to take the following action(s):
a. The club must reimburse scheduled Judges for all expenses incurred on behalf of the club for the canceled event.
b. An Event Committee member must stay at the event site during the previously-scheduled event hours to inform all exhibitors or spectators that the event was canceled.
c. The club must return all Pre-Entry fees.
d. The club must mail an event cancellation letter to each person that was mailed a Premium List or other advertisement of the event.
e. The club will be assessed additional fees for expenses incurred as a result of late changes to BLOODLINES magazine.
5. A club that cancels their event without UKC approval will be subject to disciplinary action, which may result in the loss of privileges.
6. A club that shows a pattern of scheduling and canceling events may lose its status as a UKC Licensed club.

The American Pit Bull Terrier is UKC's second most widely registered breed. Originally developed during the nineteenth century to be a combination of the gameness of the terrier with the strength and athleticism of the Bulldog, the APBT embodies all of the virtues attributed to great warriors: strength, indomitable courage, and gentleness with loved ones. The first APBT ever registered belonged to UKC founder, C. Z. Bennett, who assigned UKC registration number 1 to his own APBT, Bennett's Ring in 1898. |
