 | The 2008 UKC Coonhound Youth Nationals are coming!
On July 25 & 26, 2008 the Coachmen Club in New Castle, Pennsylvania will be host to this year's Youth Nationals. Coonhound youth enthusiasts will be gathered from across the country to compete in the weekend's nite hunts and bench show as well as enjoy games and a free cook out! The National Championship nite hunt features four $2,000 Continuing Education Tuition Prizes proudly offered by the United Kennel Club. While youth have to be qualified to compete in the Championship nite hunt, they don't have to be qualified to attend the event! There is a last chance qualifier on Friday night and an open hunt for anyone who wants to hunt on Saturday and hasn't qualified. See the June and July issues of COONHOUND BLOODLINES for more information on this fun event! |  |

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.

Why can’t we all get along?
The United States Canine Registry Conference took place in Las Vegas in November 2007. When Wayne invited me to be there, my first thought was, “Why couldn’t the meeting be held somewhere else?” I know Las Vegas is a popular resort community, but it’s not my cup of tea. My idea of gambling is to breed a bitch to an imported stud dog. I hate the noise of the slot machines - it’s like putting my head inside a pinball machine.

Bulldogs in England were originally working dogs who drove and caught cattle and guarded their masters' property. They were brought by working class immigrants to the American South where they used this all-around working dog for many tasks. By the end of World War II, however, the breed was almost extinct. Mr. John D. Johnson, a returning war veteran, decided to resurrect this breed. The modern American Bulldog continues to serve as an all-purpose working dog; a fearless and steady guard dog; and a loyal family companion. |
