my issues are about the UKC ones since those are less likely to have the same background that the AKC ones do. |
I understand what you're saying and for the most part agree you. But, UKC does serve it's purpose, in offering training ground for those that are not fortunate to have a mentor. UKC is more relaxed, it does build confidence when one is learning. AKC being intense can intimidate a newbie....
Then there is the other side, it could give a newbie a false sense of security, taking a dog in and obtaining a UKC Championship lickety split.....
