UKC Coonhounds

UKC Coonhounds The Official HQ of the United Kennel Club Coonhound Program. Follow for updates, event info and more!

The events offered by the UKC Hunting Ops department are designed to as closely simulate an actual hunt as possible with the exception of taking of game, which is strictly prohibited. Dogs compete, sometimes individually and sometimes in a group depending on the event, for points towards Championship and Grand Championship titles. United Kennel Club believes hunting heritage should be maintained a

nd supports the right to bear arms and all legal forms of hunting. We view hunting as a celebration of valued family traditions, a source of recreational activity, and a necessary aspect of game management. Our various coonhound events closely simulate actual hunts without talking game.

You all just made history!! ๐ŸŽ‰๐Ÿพ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿป

Entries for Tournament of Champions closed Monday, and to say it was a great year would be an understatement. We ended with 1,491 qualified hounds and 922 dogs entered into the regions...both are records for the five-year history of this event. By a wide margin!!

We can not thank all of our hard working and loyal hound competitors enough. You continue to make UKC events the celebration of competitive hunting that they are. Give yourself and your fellow competitors a high five, a pat on the back, or a big hug for a record breaking year! It's going to be a big celebration in Indiana come April!

Our Story

Coonhound events licensed by the UKC Field Operations Department are designed to simulate an actual hunt as closely as possible, to evaluate each dogโ€™s instincts and heritage, with the exception of taking of game, which is strictly prohibited. Dogs compete, sometimes individually and sometimes in a group depending on the event, for points towards Championship and Grand Championship titles.
