I would love to know about UKC as well...I am planning on taking our puppies UKC now and taking Maia that route, I have decided to pull her from AKC which just breaks my heart!
I love Maia, she is sound in structure, showy and I love her head but she is too light. With the new DQ I am tired of holding my breath every time I enter the ring...I have to disagree that they do not belong there to begin with if they are to light...yes the perfect dog is dark steel blue and the shaded golden tan...but dogs are not perfect! I just do not have it in me to dye them, the title is just not that important imo. I think she belongs in the ring and she loves it so much we will just do UKC...I enjoy showing her too much to quit because of what I feel is a judge being ridiculous!
I agree we always have the choice not to enter under certain judges, that is our right as exhibitors...my list is just growing for a different reason right now!
