Garmin® Partners with the United Kennel Club


OLATHE, Kan. /December 23, 2012/Business Wire — Garmin International Inc., a unit of Garmin Ltd. (NASDAQ: GRMN), and the United Kennel Club have reached an agreement, naming Garmin as a sponsor for the UKC’s major hound and beagle events, including the Winter Classic, Autumn Oaks, and Hunting Beagle World Championship.

Established in 1898, the United Kennel Club is the largest all-breed performance-dog registry in the world, registering dogs from all 50 states and 25 foreign countries. More than 60 percent of its 15,000 annually licensed events are tests of hunting ability, training and instinct. UKC prides itself on its family-oriented, friendly, educational events. The UKC has supported the "Total Dog" philosophy through its events and programs for over a century. As a departure from registries that place emphasis on a dog’s looks, UKC events are designed for dogs that look and perform equally well.

“We’ve enjoyed a long relationship with Tri-Tronics and we look forward to continuing this same partnership with Garmin,” stated Todd Kellem, vice president of United Kennel Club events.

“From the first Tri-Tronics A-70 to the Trashbreaker, the Astro and now the Alpha, competitive houndsmen have long relied on the product innovations, from first Tri-Tronics and now Garmin. Even before the Tri-Tronics acquisition, we at Garmin have long valued the essential role that the United Kennel Club plays in the competitive hound and beagle world,” remarked Dan Bartel, Garmin’s vice president of worldwide sales. “We are proud to be a part of their prestigious events.”

My guess is Garmin will own controlling interest in UKC before it's all over with.

Garmin is a Professional Company and UKC is also. I am sure things will work out.

We blame UKC for al lot of things but you have to look at how the rules and rule changes are set up.
In other KC's they can call some meetings and if something needs to be done for the betterment of the sport it happens.
In UKC doesn't the Breed Associations have to each have their meetings and vote on suggested rule changes that went through another process to even be considered for change.
Kind of like our Government. Lots of good things are lost because of one stubborn person voting and a lots of bad things are passed as a rider just to accomplish another goal.

I think garmins should be allowed during hunting time on ukc hunts for the safety of the dogs what would that hurt

I personally don't see how Garmins would help, nor hinder coonhunting in competitions, but rules are rules and they are set. We as competition hunters are to follow them ALL of the time.

I also am quite sure that coonhunting as a competition and as a sport has been around way longer than Garmin.

How does a Garmin help or hinder ya'll? Just curious

Having your garmin on during a hunt could keep your dog from getting run over most guides hunt to close to roads

One more thing. Maybe Garmin could help upgrade the Ukc message board so if over 650 folks are on it. It would still load

if there gets to be more than 650 people on here at once, then surely there is an empty walmart somewhere.
