I know who Sharon is......and thumbs up because she does compete in both venues. UKC, is not one that I've desired to compete in, but I do understand that it is a bit more relaxed and wonderful training ground for some. AKC may not be for everyone, it is a more competitive, and as you once said still the more coveted title.
