Planning A Breeding
Kathy Lorentezen
Your Grand Champion girl is nearly three years old, physically and temperamentally sound and possesses all the health clearances that are appropriate for her breed. (Or you would not be considering breeding her at all, right?) With that question answered in the affirmative, at this point your thoughts turn to the whelping box and you are excited at the prospect of creating a new generation and finding your next dog show star. Where do you begin the process of finding the dog that will be the best for her as a mate?

Basic Whelping Kit
The items on this list may not be all you will ever need when delivering a litter of puppies; but if your dog is expecting its first litter, these are items you may want to have in one location.

This Weekend At UKC
Bird Dogs in Canada - The UKC/HRC Upland Hunt Tests are designed to mimic realistic hunting situations as closely as possible. In keeping with the Hunting Retriever Club philosophy, “Conceived by hunters for hunters,” dogs are tested on their ability to quarter a field, flush a game bird, track a scent and retrieve a downed bird to hand. The Lake Ontario Hunting Retriever Club will host two upland hunts this weekend in Oshawa, Ontario - a great chance for anyone pursuing their Upland Hunter (UH) title. Come by and check out the fun!

UKC's third most widely registered breed is the Bluetick Coonhound. It is most likely that the Bluetick is principally descended from the quick foxhounds of England with some introduction of the blood of various French hounds which were used for hunting big game. The French dogs were known as being very cold nosed. George Washington received five such French hounds from General Lafayette. Blueticks were originally registered with UKC as English. In 1946, at the request of the Bluetick fanciers, UKC began registering Blueticks as a separate breed. |
