Welcome to the
Carolina Kennel Club web site. We were founded in 1938 and are proud to
be the oldest kennel club in North Carolina. We became an AKC
(conformation authority only) MEMBER club in 1938. In 2000, The CKC
added to this membership the authority to also conduct all breed obedience
competition at our shows.
Located in the
central part of the state, our membership resides primarily in Guilford
and Rockingham Counties. For more than 70 years we have sponsored
conformation events for Pure Bred Dogs.
We are dedicated to
our community and support local Canine rescue and spay/neuter programs.
CKC also recognizes its members' participation in AKC performance events.
Our Objectives
are:
- To further the advancement
of all breeds of pure-bred dogs;
- To do all in its power to
protect and advance the interests of all breeds of pure-bred dogs
and to encourage sportsmanlike competition at dog shows, obedience
trials, and all other AKC events.
- To conduct sanctioned
matches, dog shows and obedience trials under the rules of The
American Kennel Club.
