2007's Top Ten UKC Breeds Registered As of January 18, 2008
With over 12,000 licensed events annually, the United Kennel Club is the world’s largest performance dog registry and second oldest all-breed registry in the United States.
Founded in 1898, the UKC has supported the "Total Dog" philosophy through its events and programs for over a century. As a departure from registries that place emphasis solely on a dog’s looks, UKC events are designed for dogs who look and perform equally well.
Our mission is to be the world's best registry of purebred dogs, to offer our customers the most efficient and creative services possible, to use our data to help our customers breed the best dogs in the world and to create a wide spectrum of performance and conformation events in which those dogs can prove their instincts and heritage.
With that said, the United Kennel Club is pleased to announce its list of top dog breeds for 2007. This list, based on UKC registration figures, reflects the Performance Dog philosophy that is the backbone of United Kennel Club. Truly – “Our Dogs Do Stuff!”

The Redbone was the second coonhound breed to be registered with UKC, the first being registered in 1902, two years after the American Black & Tan. The Redbone is known to be a well-balanced breed, making them adaptable to various types of hunting and terrain. Their agility benefits them when hunting in fenced country or steep, rocky ground. Redbones are known to make excellent water dogs. |
