American Kennel Club
For 140 years, the American Kennel Club has been the country’s leading authority on all things dogs, acting as the premier resource for all dog lovers. We are passionate about everything related to dogs, and we celebrate the joy they bring to our lives every single day. We encourage dogs as family companions; advance canine health and well-being; advocate for dog owner rights; and educate the public about responsible dog ownership.
Being a dog lover is not a pastime; it’s a way of life – and we make every moment count.
