There is a huge difference between the two clubs nothing to do with brushes it has all to do with competition.
UKC you do not need any other dog/bitch in the ring to receive points. You can accumlate 25 points per show WITHOUT any competition.
To receive his/her championship you need 3 COMPETITIONS (not Major) which means you have to beat out at least one dog/bitch for the title of Best male or Best Female 3 times.
AKC in my region (requirements are by region)
At least two dogs/bitches must COMPETE to receive 1 point. 4dogs/5bitches must COMPETE to receive 2 points...three points and above are considered majors 6dogs/7bitches must COMPETE for a 3 point...8dogs/9bitches must COMPETE for a 4 point and 11dogs/12bitch must COMPETE for a 5 point.
hope this helps clarify the difference, I know all this "Jazz" is confusing at times.
