Happy Fourth of July for you and your Dog!

With Fourth of July this weekend, it’s important to remember our canine friends and their comfort and safety.
With all those fireworks going off, your dog might be more likely to be anxious or uncomfortable.
Their hearing is a lot more sensitive than ours, so it’s probably best to leave them at home
in a safe place if you plan to go out and enjoy the visual effects in the sky.

Make your holiday weekend an enjoyable one!

UKC Hunting Programs
United Kennel Club, Inc. has always been a great friend to hunters everywhere. We are not a company that chooses to ride the fence on the issue of hunting. We believe in the right to keep and bear arms. We view the sport of hunting as a valued family tradition that is not only a great source of recreational activity but also a necessary tool in the goals of game management. UKC publicly supports all organizations that work hard to protect gun ownership and all legal forms of hunting.

A person could almost say that the history of the English Coonhound is the history of all coonhounds — and he wouldn’t be too far wrong. With the exception of the Plott Hound, all the UKC breeds of coonhounds have a common ancestry that is deeply rooted in the English Foxhound.
The English was first registered by UKC in 1905, under the name of English Fox & Coonhound. English hounds have excelled in both performance and conformation. The first major coonhound Field Trial of all time, the first Leafy Oak, was won by an English dog called “Bones”, owned by Colonel Leon Robinson. |
