Overview

Mission

The primary goal of the organization is to conduct, host and actively participate in dog shows.

What it reported doing in 2025

The club conducts, hosts and actively participates in dog shows and judging for the benefit of the general public. The main show is the scent trials - the sport of scent work is based on the work of professional detection dogs (such as drug dogs), employed by humans to detect a wide variety of scents and substances. In akc scent work, dogs search for cotton swabs saturated with the essential oils of birch, anise, clove, and cypress. The cotton swabs are hidden out of sight in a pre-determined search area, and the dog has to find them. Teamwork is necessary: when the dog finds the scent, he/she has to communicate the find to the handler, who calls it out to the judge.

Operating model

Revenue model
Other-operating. 97% of the money available for current operations came from other operating revenue.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and assets have declined or grown slowly.
