Yes, it is easier because it's not so "dog eat dog" with the competitors in conformation. The competition for UKC is every bit as tough as AKC, in this area at least. Many of the people who tried conformation in AKC were really soured about the bad experience and said "never again" compared to people who did UKC. OTH, the non-judged AKC events are a ton of fun.also seems like UKC is easier for newbies and would be encouraging.
