BLOODLINES Dog Event News
BLOODLINES Dog Event News now serves as a newsletter for the UKC Dog Events Department, which oversees Conformation Shows, Agility Trials, Dog Sport Events, Obedience Trials, Terrier Races and Weight Pulls.
BLOODLINES Dog Event News includes announcements from the Dog Events Department, upcoming events and event results, as well as advertising.
Find out “who’s winning what” in all UKC Conformation Shows, Agility Trials, Dog Sport Events, Obedience Trials, Terrier Races and Weight Pulls; and where the UKC events are held.
Founded in 1918, BLOODLINES was the very first official United Kennel Club magazine. In its 89 years of existence, it has changed several times, evolving to meet the needs of its readers. Most recently, because of the widespread use of the internet by the dog fancy, much of what it included has been moved to the UKC website and is now available at no charge to our valued customers. This includes Richard Beauchamp’s monthly breed articles, Kathy Lorentzen’s Conformation Judging series, and upcoming events listings, well in advance for better planning.

The Dogue de Bordeaux is one of the oldest French breeds. Its actual origins are obscure but it is probably descended from one of the strains of Mastiff-type dogs that accompanied Macedonian and Roman armies through Asia, Europe, and Britain. By the middle of the 19th century, the Dogue de Bordeaux was little known outside of Aquitaine where it was used to hunt large animals, such as boar; to fight; to guard homes and cattle; and in the service of butchers. The breed narrowly missed extinction during the two world wars but enjoyed a resurgence in the 1960's. Sometime in the early 1980's, the first Dogue de Bordeaux was imported to the United States. |
