A LITTLE HISTORY ABOUT OUR REGISTRY
FOUNDED BY CHAUNCEY ZACHARIAH BENNETT
FEBRUARY 10, 1898
His own American Pit Bull Terrier, Bennett’s Ring, was among representatives of the original fifteen recognized breeds and was assigned UKC registration number 1.
His emphasis was on the working & sporting dog, a concept now known at UKC as the ‘Total Dog’. United Kennel Club originally operated out of the Bennett household. For many years, Bennett maintained outside employment, running UKC on his own time. Eventually it became necessary to separate the office into a section of his home and hire some office help.
A SUCCESS FROM EVERY ANGLE

DR. FUHRMAN BECOMES PRESIDENT OF UKC
1944
Dr. Fuhrman, Chauncey Bennett’s son-in-law, eventually became president of UKC. He was a practicing physician when Frances Bennett married him, and she soon convinced him to start writing articles on purebred dogs. Dr. Fuhrman's one ambition was to see the UKC as the guiding light for all lovers, breeders and fanciers of purebred dogs.
