This Weekend At UKC Autumn Oaks, A Coon Hunting Labor Day Tradition If you own a coonhound, or have ever entertained an idea of looking into the fun and excitement of this traditional dog sport, you simply have to be a part of United Kennel Club’s Labor Day coonhunting extravaganza in Richmond, Indiana. In its 51st year, Autumn Oaks, as the event is called, has long been known as the “Event Where History Is Made”. To coon hunting enthusiasts, this is the largest event of it’s kind in the world. Nearly 1,400 coonhounds will be entered in the UKC licensed events throughout the weekend. More than double that number, ranging from pups to the most proficient in the country, will be on the grounds either for promotional purposes, for sale, or simply fulfilling their “pride and joy” status by laying in the shade of their owner’s truck. Activities begin at the Wayne County Fairgrounds around 10:00 a.m. Thursday through Saturday and last into the early morning hours the next day. Visitors are welcome and there is no charge for parking or admission. (More Information). Find an event in your area.

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.
