many people snub the UKC
i like it becouse they do not allow overtrimming or overgrooming of our newfs.
the only places we are allowed to trim is the ears, and the feet, and they are shown in their natural coat, that is to me very very important.
also our all breed club has UKC obedience matches all year round, so many here do both AKC and UKC obedience and conformation.
i go whenever i can, and this spring i hope to hit the INT UCI shows in minnesota.
Water trials are a desire of mine but are a long haul so again, it comes down to time and availability and funds, tracking we do on our own, have not yet gone for the official title but that to is a desire of mine, but i am told the matches are again a very long drive.
carting, well i have the cart, have had it a very long time, maybe it is time to fill the tires and dust it off.
