 Championship Points and Title
Information (from
ukcdogs.com)
CHAMPIONSHIP POINTS
United Kennel Club, Inc. maintains all records
of Championship points and titles. Points are not recorded until the
Official Hunt Test Reports are received from the Club by the Hunting
Programs Department at UKC. Phone calls or participant’s copies of pass
receipts are not official notification of points.
In order to receive UKC Championship points
recognition and titles, an individual must be in good standing with UKC,
Inc. and all dogs must be permanently registered with UKC, Inc.
See the section “How Does A Dog Receive Credit
For Its Hunt Test Points” on page 10 for more information on non-UKC
(unregistered) dogs’ points.
Once Championship points have been earned in
any category, except Grand, a dog cannot earn additional Championship
points in a lower category. They may continue to participate in these
lower categories if desired. Championship points are earned as follows:
STARTED:
Five (5) Championship points per UKC Licensed Hunt are awarded for those
dogs who pass all Started Hunting Retriever tests. Four (4) Started passes
are required for the Started Hunting Retriever (SHR) title. Once points
are earned in a higher category, the retriever may not return to Started
and earn the SHR title.
A maximum of ten (10) Championship points
towards a higher degree can be earned in this category.
SEASONED:
Ten (10) Championship points per UKC Licensed Hunt are awarded for those
dogs who pass all Seasoned Hunting Retriever tests.
A maximum of forty (40) Championship points
towards a degree can be earned in this category. Unless ten (10) Started
Championship points were earned, then, a maximum of thirty (30)
Championship points can be earned toward a degree in this category.
FINISHED:
Fifteen (15) Championship points per UKC
Licensed Hunt are awarded for those dogs who pass all Finished Hunting
Retriever tests
GRAND:
Forty (40) Championship points per UKC Licensed Hunt are awarded for those
dogs who pass all Grand Hunting Retriever tests.
UPLAND HUNT:
Ten (10) Championship points per UKC Licensed Hunt are awarded for those
dogs who pass all Upland Hunt tests.
The Upland Hunt Test is a separately licensed
event and not to be confused with an Upland test that may be included in a
Seasoned or Finished test or the Upland series of the Grand Hunt.
