Overview

Mission

The primary purpose of the organization is to encourage obedience training of dogs, offer dog training classes, and conduct obedience trials, rally trials, scent work trials, and tracking tests as well as any other performance events under the rules of the American Kennel club, and advance all breeds of dogs in accordance with the regulations of the American Kenel Club.

What it reported doing in 2025

The club held 3 6-week obedience class sessions, 16 dog trials and 2 seminars. We also provided Canine Good Citizen and Trick dog testing at the end of each class session. Total program service expenses were $36,045 (Schedule O), $611 postage and $18,539 paid to contractors. Grand total $55,395.

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 97% 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. Revenue has declined or grown slowly and expenses are high relative to revenue.
