Frequently Asked Questions about UKC PL's

What is a Performance Listing Number?
The Performance Listing Program offers many opportunities and allows dogs to participate for points and titles in UKC performance events. The number allows dogs to enter applicable UKC performance events to earn points and titles. The number is unique to your dog and allows UKC to maintain the dog's competition history and issue performance titles. PL dogs may also be used in Junior Showmanship classes but are not eligible for UKC conformation shows.

How is it different from other forms of UKC registration?
PL numbers are for mixed-bred dogs, purebred dogs of unknown lineage, and breeds UKC does not yet recognize. The PL number is a great way to participate in UKC events with your dog if the dog is not already papered or cannot be papered with UKC via the regular method. Performance Listed dogs do not receive breeding rights. No litters may be registered from a Performance Listed dog, and no pedigrees will be maintained. The number allows dogs to enter UKC performance events, and allows UKC to maintain the dog's competition history and issue performance titles.

Is a Performance Listing (PL) number the same as a Permanent Registration number?
The PL is different from a UKC Permanent Registration number. One dog cannot have both. If your dog is already Permanently Registered with UKC, the dog is not eligible for a Performance Listing number. If your dog is not yet registered with UKC and Is not eligible for regular registration, the PL is right for your dog. If you want to give your dog an official name and earn points and titles in applicable UKC performance events, the Performance Listing number is your next step!

What can dogs do with a PL number?
Dogs can participate in applicable UKC performance events for points and titles.

What if my dog is purebred?
Purebred and mixed-bred dogs are eligible for Performance Listing numbers. It is your choice as an owner to choose what type of UKC Registration is best for your dog.

Does my dog have to be spayed or neutered to apply for a PL?
To register your dog via PL and participate in Hunting Retriever Club (HRC) events, PL dogs must meet the requirements to be listed as one of the breeds in the Gun Dog group and are required to be spayed or neutered to participate in HRC events only. This rule is for HRC events only. Outside of HRC events, UKC does not require PL dogs to be spayed or neutered. PL dogs are not eligible for breeding. No litters may be registered from a Performance Listed dog, and no pedigrees will be maintained.

Note for Coonhound event purposes:
The seven Coonhound breeds may apply for Performance Listing numbers, but PL numbers allow entry to the non-hunting events only. A PL dog may not be entered in any UKC Licensed Coonhound events.
