About UKC Coonhounds

Hunting with hounds is an American Tradition that still enjoys immense popularity. UKC's competitive hound programs offer events for coonhound enthusiasts belonging to over 1,300 clubs throughout the United States and Canada. In fact, one of the UKC's series of events enters more than 17,000 coonhounds annually and ranks as the largest sporting dog event of any kind in the world! No longer restricted to down-on-the-farm family gatherings, today's competition houndsmen encompass all walks of life and professional venues. The fast-paced, head-to-head action of competition hound events provides plenty of excitement as the hound/handler teams battle it out down to the wire in search of national recognition and titles. Not unlike the professional end of any sport, owners and handlers additionally compete for thousands of dollars worth of prizes annually. In a similar fashion to that of the popular catch-and-release fishing tournaments, all game is left totally undisturbed to run another day. The Rules Events In Your Area Ask us questions! Community
