Did you hear?? UKC is relaunching the iconic hunting dog and sportsman’s periodical, American Field Sportsman’s Journal, as an all-new publication to feature all types of hunting dogs —including bird dogs, retrievers, c**nhounds, big game hounds, squirrel dogs, beagles, and other types of sporting dogs — together in one publication. The new quarterly Journal also highlights the outdoor lifestyle with topics ranging from wild game cooking to hunting dog health, conservation, guns and shooting, and so much more. Our goal is to engage, entertain, and empower our audience and to elevate the entire sporting community by sharing our common bond and shared purpose with our hunting dogs.

To celebrate the road to relaunch, we have several special promotions running through 11/15. Subscribe by next Friday to receive your FREE Preview Issue in time for Christmas and be entered to win a Dogtra 1902S two-dog training system.

New Printing Press Installation

Many hands make light work, but there was nothing light about this 2000-pound plus behemoth. This new production press printing equipment is *six times* larger than what UKC previously had for many years, and a construction remodel was required to make the Pedigree Room even roomier.

Our Story

The programs at UKC include Obedience Trials, Rally Obedience Trials, Agility Trials, Weight Pull Events, Drag Races, Dock Jumping Events, Lure Coursing, Nosework, SPOT, Total Junior Program, C**nhound Field Trials, Water Races, Nite Hunts and Bench Shows, Hunt Tests for retrieving breeds, Pointing Dog Events, Beagle Events (including Hunts and Bench Shows, and Cur and Feist Squirrel and C**n Events and Bench Shows). Rounding out the 'Total Dog' package, UKC Conformation Events are among our largest growing events. UKC dog shows are family events designed by and for the breeder-owner-handler. Professional Handlers are not eligible to exhibit dogs for others at UKC Conformation Events. At UKC dog shows, the emphasis is on the DOG, not the SHOW. Part of our mission is to have events where all dogs can compete. In addition to our purebred dog registry, United Kennel Club offers the Performance Listing program. The Performance Listing is open to mix bred dogs, purebred dogs of unknown pedigree, purebred dogs with disqualifying faults or breeds not recognized by UKC. Performance listed dogs may compete in all UKC Performance Events and Junior Showmanship. It is our firm belief that the right balance between performance and conformation results in healthier happier dogs for everyone. We are proud that we share that same philosophy with our growing number of dedicated participants. Essentially, the UKC world of dogs is a working world. That's the way it was developed over a century ago, and that's the way it remains today.
