Please respond ,
Thank you'
The United Kennel Club has decided to end the Dog Sports program as of 12/31/2009. We need your help is persuading them to re-consider this decision, and encourage them to give it a second chance under different leadership.
The core of the UKC Dog Sports program is well thought out and sound and many of us believe it would expand and flourish if given another chance under different management. Please contact Michelle Morgan, UKC Director of Performance Events at MMorgan@UKCdogs.com and voice your encouragement for such. Please copy your emails to Denise Vavla at DVavla@UKCdogs.com.
Please only refer to the program as UKC Dog Sports and refrain from mentioning their former association of the program with the SDA. Be positive and complimentary in your writing, perhaps mentioning the thrill and pride you felt when granted an obedience and/or protection title from the UKC Dog Sports program. Compliment the pioneer vision of the UKC in creating such a program that recognized the protective instincts and abilities of our family dogs. Ask the UKC to re-consider their decision to end the UKC Dog Sports program; granting it a reprieve under different management thus allowing it to expand and flourish into a professional attractive sport.
The UKC is a “performance dog registry”. Please politely point out that the UCK mission statement to “create performance events in which dogs can prove their instincts and heritage” should continue to include highlighting and recognize the dog’s oldest job… protecting family and home!
Thank you so much,
