WHAT WE DO

The Warren County Kennel Club of Ohio furthers the advancement of purebred dogs in many ways, including holding monthly meetings and programs, offering training classes, providing materials to libraries, and holding 2 AKC shows each year.  Other club activities each year include a hayride, holiday party, and picnic.  WCKC members have an excellent opportunity to network with other purebred owners, some of whom have been "in dogs" for decades, and others who are just starting.  Our membership is active in conformation, obedience, and field events and includes a number of licensed AKC judges.

During July, the WCKC maintains a booth at the Warren County Fair.  We provide educational material and literature on responsible dog ownership.  Club members staff the booth daily and answer questions.  This is a fun activity for one and all.
