UDC Conformation Show and Breed Survey 2026

Bump as a reminder this is a great way to see what goes on in person on the working side, esp if you couldnt make it to NY for UDC Nationals.

I'd especially like to see Doug Matson giving tips at Breed Survey. Hopefully some video will make it out to youtube, for those of us who cant be there in person.

The Temperament Test in UDC is a requirement to get CC. Thats going to be done by Leslie Carpenter:

@FrauDoberman So thats a higher than AKC Ch, which doesnt require the WAE to "finish" correct?
If you do pas WAE then you get a ROM, right?

but still not as high as the ZTP level in Europe, that the Breed Standard is modeled after, correct?

So this regional show in NC ought to be really good!

Obtw: talking with others retiring to FL from up north. Occasionally some move from FL to NC to escape the FL weather. They are called "Halfbacks" for moving half way back.

Others perform the "Reverse Snowbird" buying a mountain cabin...to escape the sweaty summer or bug out to in 'Caine season...

Like the farmers in Dakotahs or the Canucks who snowbird by renting a place in Mesa AZ to escape the dark months in winter, after the harvest is done and tractors stored in sheds...

Hmmm...making a note, here...
