WHY IN THE WORLD DOES UKC NOT LIST THE SIRE AND DAM UNDER THEIR TRIAL REPORTS IN THE MAGAZINE LIKE AKC ?
TO ME THIS DOES NOT MAKE SENSE ?
I DONT KNOW ABOUT U ALL BUT I ENJOY READING THE REPORTS IN THE AKC LP AND SEEING WHO IS PRODUCING !!!!!

I agree with your thoughts. That is one of the reasons I stopped getting The Rabbit Hunter featuring ARHA reports. I don't care who owns the dog I want to know what produced it.

Try not to be too hard on the registries for this. I don't think any are denying the info without thought. I can tell you for a fact that NKC quit printing the sires and dams when they took over the registry because it almost doubled the expensive "real estate" required on a printed page. They didn't own The Rabbit Hunter or The American Beagler and were tying to keep their printing costs to a minimum. They had not only the real estate to buy, but had to contract out the layout charges as well - which was a formidable amount.

I can't speak for UKC other than they too, do not own a beagle magazine. They must buy space as well. Even without the sires and dams listed, NKC was averaging 40 pages per month in the magazine just from the amount of participation at the time, and the fact they list the top ten dogs in each class, not just the top 4 or 5...and I was compressing the print as much as I could. I'm not sure how many pages they average with The Rabbit Hunter these days, but the print doesn't seem to be as compressed.

If you get the sires and dams listed, just remember the cost will probably be passed along somewhere. Even I am charged so much per page by my printer, even if it's a blank page. Dangit, nothing's free, lol! I recently got an increase in my bill because the price of raw PAPER went up. How it trickles downhill, eh?

This is just a perspective from the other side. As a beagler, I too like to see the sires and dams.

Does anyone know the breeding behind the top three hounds at the UKC worlds? I know Mystery man's breeding but haven't seen the breeding on the other two. Thanks.

Mike thanks for pointing that out. It's been a few years now since I bought the Rabbit hunter.
