On Saturday, February 19, 2011, the first Danish-Swedish Farmdog was awarded a United Kennel Club (UKC) Championship in the USA.

Stolta Ebbas Einride of Sweden, also known as Jet, has been attending various UKC Conformation shows over the last year.  This month he received his last win in competition and was awarded the New Champion designation at the show.

UKC has different championship criteria than do AKC and ARBA.  In UKC, to obtain a championship, a dog must acquire 100 points and 3 wins in competition. The points are awarded to the dog based on their placements, such as best of breed, best male, etc.  The wins in competition must be received when they place higher than another dog in the lineup.  Since Jet was the only Danish-Swedish Farmdog competing in the show, he was able to get placements in the Terrier Group for his three wins in competition.

Jet is still a little young and needs to have a bit more Spring of Ribs as is defined in the standard, but he's doing well, and he's now a UKC Champion!
