What Kinds Of UKC Dog Events Are There?

Renowned as a "performance registry," UKC offers many activities to both showcase your dog's abilities and have fun with your dog!

Agility
If you ever attend a dog event and see a group of people walking around what looks like a playground of some sort and talking to themselves, you’re probably watching the handler walk-through portion of an Agility competition.

Total Junior
The purpose of the UKCŪ Junior Program is to encourage young handlers to become fully involved with the world of dogs, by encouraging participation in conformation and performance events, breeding dogs, and promoting responsible dog ownership. The unofficial UKC motto is “Our Dogs Do Stuff™.” One very important goal of this program is to encourage UKCŪ Juniors to embrace this philosophy.

Labrador Retriever

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.
