UKC offers shows just like the AKC- has a point system in which there is information collected that keeps track of the number of wins a dog has- like the AKC's top 20 in the breed and overall wins from group.
To register the Dog must be purebred- you must submit a copy or fill in form of the dogs pedigree and provide data from the AKC or other approved registry showing certificate information. They do research the data that you provide. They do demand that records be kept and have DNA testing.
The nice thing about this registry is that handlers do not show here unless they own the dog. Dogs are shown only by owners or members of thier family.Takes some of the politics out of the game.
It just gives another way to spotlight your dog. For example- Buster has his UKC title we are working on his AKC- plan to do International next spring and CKC (Canadian) next summer. Allows us to brag a bit more and would enable us to list him on pedigrees as AKC,International,CKC,UKC Champion So and SO. Shows that more then one registry that offers confirmation dog shows has felt that the dog is of quality. This is a marketing tool in advertising him for stud-increasing and mainting the price of puppies and the recognition of the kennel/owner/breeder of the dog.
