About
Who we are is who we always were…
Established in 1975
As an AKC affiliated club, our primary focus is on purebreds. However, we don’t limit ourselves to purebreds only. We also provide training and socialization assistance for all dogs, purebred and mixed, emphasizing the importance of responsible care, training, and companionship. The club is dedicated to three major goals... • Further the advancement of all dogs. • Do all in our power to protect and advance the interests of dogs and to encourage sportsmanlike competition at dog shows and at other performance events. • Conduct sanctioned matches, dog shows, and performance events under the rules and regulations of the American Kennel Club.The Sporting Side of Life
Dog shows are the sporting side of our passion. There are essentially two sides of the dog sport...Conformation
This is where each dog is compared to their breed’s written standard, and the one coming closest to that ideal wins their respective class. This event is restricted to purebreds, and is a relatively formal affair.Performance
These events are open to all dogs, regardless of their pedigree, and evaluate both the dog’s ability to perform specific routines, as well as the handler’s ability to train. It’s significantly less formal, but just as intense as conformation. These events may come in one or more of the following forms: • Competitive Obedience • Rally Obedience • Agility • Lure Coursing • Fast CAT Club Officers

living any other way.”
