Overview

Mission

To further the advancement of purebred dogs and to promote ethical, safe, and healthy treatement of all purebred and mixed breed dogs through educational programs, related clinics, performance dog clinics, dog shows, practice sessions in conformation and performance activities.

What it reported doing in 2025

Fkc is sanctioned by the american kennel club (akc) and as a sanctioned club we are required to hold akc shows and trials. We currently hold two akc conformation shows that include obedience trails and rally trials. Our recent shows featured 350+ dogs. We also conducted 2 ofa caer eye clinics for dogs. 206 dogs participated. Our next gaol is to hold scent work trails. To hold shows and trails, we are also required by akc to hold other events that may include but are not limited to educational programs, training classes and clinics, and health clinics.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 98% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program 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

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
