This is a very different reply from your private email to me, and having 2 single points is very different than only needing a few points to finish.
Yes, UKC does hire AKC Judges. The Judges are paid to put up the most correct dog, it does not mean they think the dog is worthy of a title though.
Sadly if they only have two dogs to choose from and one is a puppy that won't walk they have no choice but to give the point to the dog that will move even if the dog is poor quality.
Serious people are always encouraged,
