Hangtown Kennel Club Hangtown Kennel Club is an AKC-licensed All-Breed Dog Club located in Placerville, California, USA. We hold an AKC sanctioned agility trial each September.

Placerville is located on the western slope of the Sierra Nevada, and was the first of thirty mining camps to spring up around Coloma, where gold was discovered by James Marshall in 1848. Our club's name refers to one of Placerville's original place names, "Old Hangtown." Our members come from all walks of life and represent a wide variety of breeds. Many club members are actively involved in AKC

competition events such as conformation, obedience, hunting tests, rally, and agility trials, spending their weekends at events throughout the USA. Other members keep their faithful pooches closer to home and belong to the club to learn more about dogs and to share in the camaraderie among our members. We hold two AKC All-Breed, Obedience and Rally Dog Shows each year during the last weekend in May (Memorial Day). These are held in conjunction with The Kennel Club of the California Sierra, making it a 3-day show known as the Hangtown Sierra Cluster. We teach Obedience and Conformation classes throughout the Spring and Summer months (outdoors). We participate in many community activities, including visits to local retirement homes with our dogs breed and obedience demonstrations at local events. We also hold annual Rattlesnake Avoidance Clinics, which teach your dog to avoid a deadly rattlesnake bite. We hold an annual AKC Sanctioned Match each year.

An 11-year-old boy in North Carolina named Jamie Parker got buried in rubble when a mudslide hit his grandparents' house during Hurricane Helene. But he's okay after his family's dog found him.

His name is Tucker. He stood where Jamie was and wouldn't budge until firefighters got there and used chainsaws to get him out.

Jamie and his sister used their allowance three years ago to save Tucker when he was about to be put down at a shelter. So it's almost like he wanted to return the favor. (Here's a photo.)

New puppies are curious, cuddly creatures. Full of energy, they sniff, paw, and gnaw at anything that catches their eye. How much more mental and physical exercise do they need with all this activity?
