I have attended a few UKC shows. I saw some nice dogs there, and the environment at the shows I was at, was quite a bit more relaxed than AKC or CKC. I have a few breeder/friends that do show in UKC, but in the working breed.

My concern, which of course is only applicable to the minority of would be exhibitors is that UKC does not allow Professional Handlers, and for various physcial reasons, I can no longer show my own working breed.

I was at one show to do a Dock Diving event with my blackie, we had great fun there. I am considering training in the weight pull. but in Canada we do not have many UKC events, so overnight travel is necessary most often to attend UKC shows. I went to one in Kalamazoo Michigan.
