DNA Challenge Program
The DNA Challenge Program was created to help resolve disputes over a dog’s lineage. A DNA Challenge arises when a dog is believed to have incorrect or false registration papers (also known as “hanging papers”).
If you believe a dog has false or incorrect registration papers, then you must submit the DNA Challenge Application along with a $350.00 deposit to:
Attn: DNA Dispute Department
United Kennel Club
100 E Kilgore Rd
Kalamazoo, MI 49002-5584
Fax: (269)343-7037
The case file will then be brought before the Disciplinary Action Committee (DAC). The DAC will review the file and determine if it warrants a DNA Challenge.
If the DAC believes it warrants such, the UKC will then send a field representative out to collect DNA from all relevant dogs. Please allow at least 10 - 12 weeks for the DNA to be collected and processed. If the results confirm your suspicions, then you will be reimbursed the full amount of the DNA Challenge, and the accused will face the UKC Disciplinary Action Committee.

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. |
