UKC YEP Youth Hunt Vidalia, GA Nov 6th

The Onion City CHC will be holding a UKC sanctioned YEP event Nov. 6th. Educational classes will start at 1 PM which is required for the YEP card the youth recieves. Classes will involve the DNR, Bench Show training, general coonhound history, sportsmanship, etc. This hunt is set up as a "Ultimate Dog" format for the whole days events. A dog will get points for simply entering every event regardless of placing. The dog with the highest points in the show, water race, field trial, treeing competition, and night hunt combined will win a brand new dog box with top storage from R&J Boxes from Ocilla, GA. We have ALOT of GREAT prizes (trophies, lights, squallers, hats, etc) to give out for each event and raffles and drawings for every kid there. There is also a silent auction going on right now and will be at the event. http://forums.ukcdogs.com/showthrea...threadid=380902 Hope to see everyone there and we are still gathering up prizes and donations and ANY help is greatly appreciated!!!! ALL sponsors will be listed in the Coonhound Bloodlines January issue as well as results.

Classes- 1pm
Bench show- 3 pm $5
Field trial-4 pm $5
Water Race- 4 pm $5
Nite Hunt- 8 pm (non-hunting judges) $5

If entry fees are a problem for ANY YOUTH, contact me at (912) 294-5211 and we will be sure that is not a issue. I'm sure there are several kennels that will sponsor a kid for the day.

Does the kids need to be big enough to handle the dog by their self?

The UKC Youth National Championship was established in 2001 and is held each summer for the
purpose of fostering and promoting youth activity in the coonhound sport. The highlight of the event is the
Qualified Round on Saturday open to those kids who placed at a Youth State Championship event during
the previous year. Four Continuing Education Tuition Prizes are awarded to the top four kids/hounds
placing in this round. Only those youth age 17 and under at the time of the National Championship,
regardless of the child’s age upon qualifying, are eligible to compete.
Friday night at the Youth National Championship features a last chance qualifying hunt for Saturday’s
Qualified Division. The Youth National Championship Bench Show is held during the day on Saturday.
There are actually two separate divisions for the Saturday night hunt; a Qualified Division for those kids
that qualified during the previous year and met advanced entry requirements, and an Open Division for
those kids that did not qualify during the previous year. The Open Division is open to day of hunt entries.
The UKC Youth National Championship is without a doubt one of the most positive and enjoyable major
events of the year. The focus for this event is sportsmanship, participation and fun. Thanks to the
wonderful families and youth that participate in this sport, we have never failed yet to meet these goals
