How are U.K.C. shows different from A.K.C. shows? There are a number of important differences between U.K.C. and A.K.C. shows. Most A.K.C. shows are all-breed shows while most U.K.C. shows are multi-breed shows. In the case of a multi-breed show, the show-giving club may choose what breeds to offer. U.K.C. rules prohibit grooming in the ring. The use of bait (i.e. food / toys) is strictly up to the Judge and when prohibited, any exhibitor who has bait in the ring will be excused by the Judge. Most U.K.C. events allow day-of-show entries. Because of U.K.C.’s strong commitment to promoting breeder/owner-handling, professional handling is not allowed at U.K.C. conformation events. U.K.C. judges are encouraged to give the reasons for their placements to the exhibitors. At U.K.C. all-breed events, Best In Show is judged by a panel of three judges. U.K.C. shows tend to be smaller and somewhat less formal than most A.K.C. events. The most common misconception about U.K.C. events is that the quality of the dogs is generally inferior to that of dogs competing in A.K.C. shows. The facts are these: in the breeds that have traditionally been considered “U.K.C.” breeds, the quality is outstanding. In the breeds that are cross-overs from A.K.C., the quality varies in the same degree it does at any A.K.C. show.
