Dear Penelope:
Q
I have a mixed bred dog and would like to start doing something enjoyable with him. What can I do that is fun and can I possibly earn any awards for my dog?
A
UKC has many wonderful and exciting events you and your dog can participate in. Mixed bred dogs can earn agility, obedience, weight pull, and dock jumping titles while having an awesome time at UKC events. Our award certificates are always of a quality worthy of framing or will look fabulous in your dog’s scrapbook. | |

Q
My friend rescued a mutt from the dog pound; she loves diving for toys and swimming in their back yard pool. I have a purebred Doberman that participates in the UKC dock jumping events and is almost a Champion. My friend wants to start traveling with me to shows. Can her dog participate too?
A
OH MY! Yes indeed, we need to get her in a dock jumping event! Soon she will be on her way to earning a Dock Jumping Championship title too. UKC promotes the total dog philosophy; her dog does not have to be a purebred dog to have fun here! Click here for more info. |
Q
Our family pet is a Labradoodle named Sophia, she is not registered anywhere as a purebred dog. My children would like to show her as a project, can we do this and how?
A
Your Labradoodle, Sophia is welcome at UKC events. Since you have children, they can show her in Junior Showmanship. Kids all over the country compete for Total Junior or just have fun showing. This is a great way for kids to meet other kids who love showing their dogs! Click here to download Total Junior applications. Click here to download an application to get Sophia listed in the UKC Limited Privilege program.

Q
Exactly what events can my mixed bred dog compete in?
A
A reader after my own heart!! Your Heinz 57® can compete to its hearts’ content in Weight Pull, Agility, Obedience, Dock Jumping, and possibly any other future Performance events added by UKC. |
Q
Do you allow companion dogs and designer dogs to show or participate at your events?
A
Definitely, in fact UKC encourages it! Having a dog who sits on your lap is great and I’m all for that, but getting out in the fresh air and sunshine with other die hard canine fans ROCKS! Click here to find out how to get listed and start having fun!

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. |
