Re: Grand Nite Ch's in a Nite Ch cast ???

Went to a UKC hunt tonight, and entered a Nite Ch female. Drew out with two other dogs, a male who finished to GrandNiteCh last weekend in a hunt, and a female who got her last Nite Ch win last night. The handler of the male dog said he called for a points check before breeding, and there was some confusion from UKC on how many wins he had, and that they would get back to him. I know, and he knows, the dog has all his wins. The owner of the female told me last night after the hunt, that was her 5th win, and she was now a grand. When asked why he was entering Nite Ch tonight he said "I don't have the paperwork in my hands yet" and then, "just stacking the deck."
First drop of the night, all dogs struck and treed. I was judging. We start walking in. 75 yds from the tree, I heard the other female stop barking, and then a squeal from my female, a little scuffle, then they went right back to treeing. I hurried on in to the tree and put my light on the dogs, when I was 15 yards from the tree, I watched the other female come off the wood, and fly in to my female, knocked her to the ground and went to chewing on her. Went in and broke them up, got them all on a leash. I said "she's scratched". Handler of other female, who was at least 30 yards behind me when this happened says " no, they're both scratched". I told him I had seen his dog in action as the aggressor. So we put it to a vote. The handler of the male dog said all he saw was both dogs on the ground, and voted to scratch both. His dog had met us 40 yds off the tree and managed to stay out of it. I scored his tree, filled out the scorecard and signed it, had the other handler sign, and then handed the card to the guide to finish as a Non-Hunting Judge.
So my dog is going to be written up for fighting, because she was jumped by a bitch that had no business being in the same woods with her tonight. What is the UKC's position on Grands entering in Nite CH class? It says on page 66 in the rule book " A Nite Ch or Grand Nite Ch cannot hunt in open competition. They must hunt in own class, not lower." Any way to enforce this? Or can people just enter a dog in whatever class they feel like entering? Buncha BS is what it was.
How did you beat him into the tree by 30 yards?
Remember there is always three sides to a story, yours, theirs and the truth.
