Mafia Kennels

With 250,000 registrations annually, the United Kennel Club is the second oldest and second largest all-breed dog registry in the United States. Founded in 1898 by Chauncey Z. Bennett and currently owned by Wayne R. Cavanaugh, the registry has always supported the idea of the "total dog", meaning a dog that looks and performs equally well.

The performance programs of U.K.C. include Conformation Shows, Obedience Trials, Agility Trials, Coonhound Field Trials, Water Races, Nite Hunts and Bench Shows, hunting tests for the retrieving breeds, beagle events including Hunts and Bench Shows, and, for Cur and Feist Squirrel and Coon Events, and Bench Shows. Essentially, the U.K.C. world of dogs is a working world.

Performance Pedigrees. U.K.C. is the first to offer the Performance Pedigree. This pedigree gives an accurate, up-to-date count of the number of puppies produced by each dog on the pedigree as well as the various Championships earned by those puppies. It also includes the coat colors of all 14 ancestors. The Performance Pedigree is a beautiful document and is the most complete pedigree in the World.
