With the new year bearing down on us, the last Coonhound Advisor of 2019 seems like a good time to finish going through the rule changes that have yet to be discussed in this column. At this point, all the updated rules have been implemented into the 2020 rulebook and those are now available for your study and review. Also listed below, you will find updated rules pertaining to UKC licensed Bench Show, Water Race and Field Trial Events.

First, I want to address an issue from last months advisor column. In the section regarding the new tree countdown, there was an error in the example that was provided. This has since been revised in the online version, but the printed issues of Coonhound Bloodlines are incorrect. Please see the bolded sentence in the updated section below for the correct interpretation of this scenario.

A Kalamazoo, Michigan-based company founded in 1898, United Kennel Club is the largest all-breed performance-dog registry in the world, registering dogs from all 50 states and 25 foreign countries. Celebrating the unique Total Dog philosophy, UKC events highlight the instincts and heritage of dogs that look and perform equally well, as more than 60 percent of its annually licensed events are tests of hunting ability, training, and instinct. United Kennel Club prides itself on its family-oriented, friendly, educational events, welcoming both purebred dogs and dogs of unknown ancestry.
