Durham Kennel Club

The Durham Kennel Club is a dog club that offers training, seminars, clinics, and obedience, conformation, herding, and agility trials.

http://durhamkennelclub.com/ The Durham Kennel Club was established in the late 1920's. We are devoted to the betterment of the purebred dog. Our members are dog owners from all walks of life, many of whom are full time dog breeders, weekend dog showers or just concerned and interested pet owners. DKC is a member club of the American Kennel Club. DKC holds two Dog Shows yearly. Our Spring Show in

March is part of a 7-day circuit held in Raleigh at the State Fairgrounds. Our Fall Show in September is part of a 4 day Labor Day circuit held in Raleigh at the State Fairgrounds. Both shows offer conformation judging and obedience competition. Our club holds Tracking Trials and several Canine Good Citizenship Tests annually. The Club also holds a 2 day Obedience trial in December, in addition we also hold 2 Agility Trials a year one in April and the second in September. DKC offers to its members and to the general public classes in both obedience and conformation show handling. Our club gets involved with all legislation involving dogs. Some of our members and their dogs visit rest homes and similar facilities. We offer a Breeder Referral Service to the community providing information on buying a puppy, finding breeders, and other information on dogs. Our monthly meetings are normally held on the third Monday of each month except in February which is our Annual Awards Dinner. We do not meet in June, July, or August. We have a Christmas Party in December. Our meetings begin with a covered dish dinner at 7 pm followed by a dog-related program and then our business meeting.
