Overview

Mission

Our primary objective is to promote the breeding of and to protect and advance the interests in pure bred dogs and to encourage and hold dog shows exhibitions and matches and field trials and any other American Kennel Club event for which the club is eligible under the rules and regulations of the American Kennel Club. To that end we train and test dog owners. All trainers are unpaid club member volunteers. Club facilities are also available to 4H groups and for search and rescue and police K-9 training.

What it reported doing in 2025

OBEDIENCE CLASSES. Obedience Classes are a series of training sessions starting with puppy socialization and puppy obedience and continuing with more advanced training. Our class goal is for every dog to be a Canine Good Citizen. Handlers are instructed how to teach their dogs basic commands such as come sit down stay and controlled walking on a leash. Handlers are also trained how to redirect undesired behaviors such as jumping and aggression. After beginner and novice classes handlers may wish to continue with obedience competition classes to obtain titles on their dogs. During 2025 over 125 handler dog teams where enrolled in 26 classes 189 class sessions.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
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

MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up and revenue comfortably covers expenses. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
