kennel clubs

Kennel clubs are organizations dedicated to promoting dog breeding, welfare, and the responsible ownership of dogs. They typically register purebred dogs, maintain breed standards, and host events like dog shows and trials. These clubs provide resources for breeders and owners, including guidelines on health, training, and care. They also often advocate for dog welfare and may partner with shelters to promote adoption. Each country has its own kennel club, with the American Kennel Club (AKC) being one of the most recognized globally, fostering a community around the love and care of dogs.
