04 United Kennel Club Pedigrees
UKC offers a Purple Ribbon 'PR' Bred Pedigree for dogs with at least
six generations of known ancestors and all 14 ancestors in the last 3
generations registered with the UKC. All other dogs registered get a
yellow certificate. The UKC marks pedigrees as "inbred" if the mating
was between mother to son, father to daughter, or brother to sister.
In 1996, the UKC started a DNA registration program. Dogs that have
been identified by DNA analysis are marked on papers; dogs whose
parentage has been proven by DNA analysis are also marked on their
papers and where appropriate, their pedigrees. They are the first
Kennel Club in the United states to incorporate this information into
their stud books.
There are 167 breeds recognized by UKC. Some notable exceptions to the
AKC list: many coonhound breeds, American Pit Bull Terrier,
Appenzeller, Ariegeois, Azawakh, Belgian Shepherd Dog (includes
Groenendael, Laekenois, Malinois, Tervuren as in the European manner),
Border Collie, Boykin Spaniel, Chinook, Entelbucher, German Pinscher,
Glen of Imaal Terrier, Havanese, Jagdterrier, Leonberger, Nova Scotia
Duck Tolling Retriever, Polish Owczarek Nizinny, Toy Fox Terrier, and
Xoloitzuintlis
