World Hunt Date Change!

Update World Hunt 2020

UKC World Hunt update:
The 2020 World Hunt and 2019 Dog of the Year Runoff both have been rescheduled till December. The Runoff will be December 11th and World hunt 12 and 13. This will still be held at Brown County Coon Club in Mt Orab OH

UKC Mountain Feist Breed Standard Update

The UKC has adopted a new breed standard for the Mountain Feist, which requires ears to be upright. The standard went into effect on January 1, 2020. Here is the language from the UKC website:

Ears are v-shaped, set at the outside edges of the skull. Ears must be erect. Note: Ear carriage may not stabilize until a dog is mature; therefore, dogs under one year of age should not be penalized for variations in ear carriage.
Disqualification: Cropped ears. Ears not erect.

MFA- Feist Days 2019

The MFA is holding Feist Days 2019 in Mount Orab, Ohio! Details to follow soon, but we will kick off the weekend of the hunt on Friday, December 13th with a UKC Squirrel HTX. We will then have a UKC semi-elimination hunt on Saturday December 14th. With a bench show between am and pm casts.

UKC HTX Friday October 25, 2019

We will be kicking off the weekend early on Friday October 25th at 1:00pm with a great opportunity to get time in the woods with your dog, and get a chance to pass a UKC hunt test on squirrel. These are known as HTX events. When your dog passes 3 one hour tests, the UKC papers will be adjusted to show HTX after the name of the dog, indicating that the dog has passed three HTX tests. If your dog passes three more tests, papers will be changed to HTX 2 and so on. It is a great way to tune up both you and the dog for the Saturday competition hunt!
