We are a non-profit, all-breed dog club that incorporated in 1982. Our primary objective is to do all in our power to protect and further the interests of all breeds of pure-bred dogs and to encourage sportsmanlike competition at all dog events. To that end, we sponsor many dog-centered activities each year. We have an All-Breed dog show accompanied by a Rally competition and an Obedience Trial every year. We hold an AKC sponsored match every summer, and a three day Agility trial. You can find out more about these activities in the Events section of our website. We offer classes for Learning/Honing Handling Skills and Puppy Socialization on a weekly basis, and more intense, 8 week intensive Handling Seminars are offered on an as-needed basis. One of our major projects is the donation of dog food to our local Gig Harbor FISH Food Bank so all family members- even the four legged ones- are helped! Canine Good Citizen Test. Offered annually in conjunction with our All Breed Dog Show and occasionally throughout the year. A variety of tests assess your dog's confidence and control. This program embraces both pure-bred dogs and mixed-breed dogs to ensure our favorite canine companions can be respected members of our community. Public Education. We strive to have an educational program open to the community at each monthly membership meeting. Topics are anything dog-related that someone expresses interest in that we can get a speaker for. A variety of programs are available that promote responsible dog ownership. Community Involvement Members have visited many schools and nursing homes in the past. We are open to requests or new suggestions to broaden the scope of exposure. Club Meetings are open to everyone interested in purebred dogs. Please join us the 3rd Thursday of every month at 7:30 pm. Contact us for the location if it is not posted. Please check here for past minutes. Contact Information
