Face Barking in a hunt

I've heard from some folks while at hunts that you can hunt a dog in a hunt that face barks. As long as they don't take hold of another dog is that true? I've seen dogs in the past that would do it if dogs were jacking a tree so I'm assuming some of that happens from a dog who has been hunted with dogs that jacks a tree. So if a dog was in a hunt would it be scratched for that behavior?

.

Here are what the rules say.
6. SCRATCHING OFFENSES
Dog Related Offense:
(b) For fighting or attempting to fight* during the authority of the Judge. When the aggressive dog is known, scratch the aggressor only. If not known, scratch dogs involved. Withdrawing to avoid dog being reported for fighting is not permitted.

*18. DEFINITIONS
Attempting to Fight: 1) Showing aggressive behavior and 2) interfering with another dog(s) during the authority of the Judge.

* My Thoughts- So if a dog is Face Barking there is a good chance it will be determined the dog is interfering with another dog. Looking at and barking in another dogs face will probably be determined as showing aggression and the dog will be scratched.

I have heard a lot of handlers (those with face barkers) say that the rule means "no harm, no foul". If a dog doesn't leave then it hasn't been interfered with.
There seems to be a big difference of opinion. One man's face barker is another man's hard tree dog.

The dog has to be doing both showing aggression and interfering. Facebarking is not fighting so both criteria must be met. If the dog has not interfered with another dog it is not scratched. Simply looking at another dog while barking is not enough if the other dog is still able to tree.

Interfering

I don’t know ukc interpretation of interference but to me a dog wouldn’t have to quit treeing or leave tree to have interference.

Face barking is not scratchable per the rules and UKC's previous interpretations of the rules.

You must have aggressive behavior AND interference. One is not enough.

The face barking would literally have to be bad enough to keep another dog from treeing.

Face barking is aggressive behavior....
When two or more dogs engage in face barking their interfering w/each other.
(JMO).
But as stated already, unless they roll, dogs involved be best to hold their get gound !

I know your correct, and since he's not considered aggressive and another dog makes it clear he's not having it and they get balled up while having that discussion, do you only scratch the corrector? But the face Barker did trigger a response so maybe he did interfere with another dog and he would be the one scratched

Interpretation

The problem with this rule is everyone's opinion is different and hunters have their own interpretation. Aggression is Aggression boys. And Face barking is interference. If a judge see's a hound clearly face barking that dog should be scratched. The rule is worded so that a dog that is excited at the tree and jumping and lands on another dog does not get scratched. That action lacks aggression but he did interfere. Face barking you have aggression + interference therefore you scratch. And for those of you who say face barking is not interference make sure you train all your pups with that face barking/mean dog and see how many nice tree dogs you produce!

Wrong.
Our opinions are not important the rule is specific aggression and interference. One or the other is not enough. Facebarking alone MUST cause a dog to be interfered with before you may scratch.
And no one has advocated for a facebarking dog we have just stated as to what the rule is.

The only opinion or interpretation that matters is that of UKC.

Definition

Definition clearly states and I Quote SCRATCH FOR ATTEMPTING TO FIGHT ------ATTEMPTING TO FIGHT DEFINED ="SHOWING AGGRESSIVE BEHAVIOR". So in your OPINION face barking is not showing AGGRESSIVE BEHAVIOR? So like I said it all comes down to interpretation! I interpret aggressive behavior clearly as face barking and a lot of people do not. UKC is pretty clear on the rule but some of us chose to interpret it in a fashion that protects our aggressive hounds at the tree. I will cull him and you feed him. No problem just two different interpretations!

Challenge

I challenge anyone to find me an ad of a coon hound for sale that states that the hound for sale is a hard, face barking, aggressive, tree dog. We all know they are out there for sale but why do people chose to hide that fact. Because it is a fault that's why and one we should be breeding out and scratching at the hunts. But that would not be popular. But this is just my opinion or interpretation you might say!

The rule interpretation depends on whose dog is face barking. Plain and simple.

Your equation is wrong. The rule is printed above so you can read it.

Attempting to fight has a black and white definition in UKC rules. You must have AGGRESSIVE BEHAVIOR AND INTERFERENCE for it to fit the definition of "attempting to fight". One without the other doesn't fit that specific, black and white written out rule.

Face barking does not meet the definition of attempting to fight.

Interfering with another dog does not meet the definition of attempting to fight.

Face barking that does interfere with another dog competing in the hunt DOES meet the definition of attempting to fight.

Without both you are breaking the rules and might as well be plussing possums.

No one on here is defending a face barking dog. We are just telling you the CORRECT way to score it based on the black and white written rules and this is also UKC's opinion of their own rules.

easy fix per new rules. if dogs are on a lead it doesn't matter. they can be gnawing on each other. no scratch.
seriously this is why there are so any hard feelings after a hunt. these guys don't know the rules and try to twist them to suit them self that they think it means.
the rule has been forever i can remember....You must have aggressive behavior AND interference.

Face barking/Rules

Mafia and Rip were 100 percent correct as usual, while no one may like face barking ( I do not ) it is NOT a scratchable offence. I will not tolerate face barking on any of my dogs pleasure or competition hunting. We can not let our biases interfere with what the RULES actual say and therein lies the problem with some folks. We may not like certain behavior or even certain RULES , but we should always go by these RULES to ensure everyone is treated the same from hunt to hunt. Please DO NOT let your personal bias sway you in interpreting any RULE. One should be able to accept the UKC RULES if you are going to hunt in UKC HUNTS, like the RULE or not. I am sure that most of us have some bias against at least one RULE, but that bias is on us like it or not and NOT on the RULE. Dave

Mafia and rip are not correct either.
The rules are the rules.
I have had a dog that wouldn't tree with a face barker so if they was in a cast with a sissy dog like I owned would they say ok I'm scratched... yeah I don't think so.
But if they was correct and honest they would say yes scratch my dog I'll go home. Aggressive and interference per the other handlers word.
I'm not trying to pick on anyone but trying to make my point.

If your going to hunt competition a sissy dog is as worthless as the too Aggressive dogs.

Lol. Your response is a PERFECT example of personal bias vs ACTUAL RULE. Dave
