Your club can grandfather one Mater Of Hounds. The rest wanting to take the test, have to pay $15 for it, or maybe your club would be willing to pay for it. You have to do three apprentice ships, under three different Master Of Hounds. Then send in those apprentice ship papers in. You should receive your card. Make sure you read the new rules, because if you fail the test, you can't take it for another year. Hopefully your club has a new year book, they are $5.00 this year. Here are the changes for 2010.


Rule Changes For 2010


Full Circle

by Jed Nichols, Beagle Program Manager

Following are the remainder of the rule changes to the Hunting Beagle Program from last month that went into effect January 1, 2010. Note that the boW lettering indi_cates a rule change or an addition to a rute. If you have any questions regarding these changes to the Hunting Beagle program, please contact Jed Nichote, UKC, 100 East Kilgore, Kalamazoo Ml 49002. or send an e-mail to jni-chols@ukcdogs. com.

If there are any rule questions thai, you might have, whether they be Performance Pack questions, Hunting Beagle or otherwise that you would like to see addressed in Full Circle, please send them in writing or e-mail them to the above mentioned address.

• Rule 9 (Judge)

Addition to Rule 9 will state that the Judge will be official time keeper.

• Clarification to Rule 3d

Apparently there has been some discrepancy as to whether or not you as a handler need to strike your dog back in on a split track. Some handlers have tried to use this situation as a loop-hole and there has not been any_thing in writing to keep them from doing so. As of January 1, there is an addition to Rule 3d that states when dogs are turned in on split track they must be re-struck in by handler on or before the third bark and will receive next available position.

•Changes to Rule 6b (Dogs will be scratched) Rule 6b will state that after first three minutes of the hunt, for failing to make any attempt to hunt within any continu_ous five minutes of the hunt. Cast will not move with dog(s) on clock. This addition to Rule 6 was added to get dogs scratched that do not hunt, and to keep handlers who own such dogs from taking a few steps this way or that way to keep their dog from staying on the clock. As a whole we feel that it will help eliminate me-too dogs and dogs that run track very well but lack the motivation to be a hunting Beagle.



Rule 6c will state if handler fails to strike his dog on or before the third bark, after the first three minutes of the hunt. (This rule to be rigidly enforced.) Dog(s) having barked less than three times and not struck in prior to being han_dled; must be struck in on or before the third bark.

There has been quite a bit of concern pertaining to this rule and the fact that some are abusing it. Due to this con_cern the Rules Committee decided to clarify this rule with an addition. What does this mean for me as a handler, you might ask. This means that unless the dogs are handled (called by handlers or leashed) then three barks is three barks. It does not matter if you get two barks right in front of you, and then five minutes later you get a third bark 100 yards away, that dog needs to be struck in on or before the third or you will be scratched. The only exception to three barks being just that, three barks, is if the dogs are handled. Handled is defined as when the judge gives permission to the cast members to call their dogs or when the dogs are leashed. If the dogs are handled, your three barks will start over and you just need to strike in on or before the third bark.

• Changes to Rule 15b (General Information)

In 15b it will now state that at time rabbit is seen, Judge or majority of cast if hunting Judge is used, must decide whether to allow dog(s) to continue on trail or pick up dog(s) in order to find new ground or another rabbit. (Exception on split track: must be unanimous decision when Hunting Judge is used.)

• UKC Hunting Beagle National Championship Rules (Revised)
At the Hunting Beagle Nationals, UKC will award the over_
all winner in the GRHBCH division with the title of
NGRCH, and the overall GRCH in the show division the
title of NGRSCH.

• UKC Hunting Beagle World Championship Rules (Revised)
(Eligibility for Events will now contain the following)
Dogs may be entered in a UKC World Qualifying Event as
"pending" only if the Beagle is single registered the day of
the event in which they wish to enter, or if a single registration
application has been sent to United Kennel Club within 45
days prior to the date of the event they wish to enter. Once

permanent registration papers are received by registered
owner, that dog can no longer be entered as pending.

Can you run or show a dog the day you apprentice for MOH?

I don't think you can.

I think you can show(if not apprenticing under show judge) but not hunt under MOH apprenticeship.NOT ABSOLUTELY SURE ABOUT THIS.
