What breed? Walkers? BnT? Red? English? Blu? Plot? Or X Breed?

Mr MOH, I read it in the official rulebook that UKC gave me.
With attendance, clubs, point values, and overall interest in competition hunts decreasing you'd think they would make it easy as possible to take people's money. Its been said many times, but if they (UKC) don't start making changes soon this program will continue to lose interest & become irrelevant.

I think the stud and dam owners are the ones getting ripped you got a lot of money in a litter before you sell them I can't count the guys that made me pay up in the program and then find out they never sent in the papers here you are with a pup over a year old that don't even know how to get on the tailgate that's what soured me on it.
But my next litter out of babe the secret weapon will be performanced lol.

That’s not the performance programs fault, it’s the fault of people you sold the pup to, if you don’t have enough buyers that you can pick through to get your pups in good hands then that cross should never been made.

I am looking for something that can compete, or should have the ability to compete. It’s for my 10 year old boy. Now that he wants to go all the time now he wants his own! Lol
