Welcome to a centralized resource for the 2024 United Kennel Club Spring Fling Cluster being held at the McLeod County Fair Grounds in Hutchinson Minnesota on May 4-5th, 2024.

This event is a UKC Total Dog Reginal Invitational. What does that mean? 

From the UKC website, "A Total Dog displays equal parts Function, Temperament, and Structure. Total Dog is a way to showcase dogs who look and perform equally well. The UKC Total Dog philosophy places an emphasis on dogs who shine in multiple venues, such as displaying the gait appropriate for their breed type while in the show ring, and then using that superb construction to effortlessly run full speed in a Lure Coursing race. A sound, well-bred, well-adjusted dog can easily transition from the show ring to a performance event. They have the looks to excel as a proper specimen of their breed, while also having the brains and ability to perform athletically in a variety of sporting events. To earn a Total Dog award, dogs must qualify in both conformation and an eligible performance event on the same day." Additional information can be found by clicking HERE. 

Any dog that earns a Total Dog designation at a qualifying event, such as this one, will be invited to the annual, National Total Dog Invitation. This competition is only open to qualifying teams and teams compete for a chance to win cash prizes- up to $10,000. More information about the Invitational can be found HERE.

Please note, if you have a question on a specific sport, you need to contact the listed club.
