Are you a dog person? Experienced, or just beginning? Then join the club!
Make connections
- Dog clubs abound with dog lovers who share common interests of raising,
training, breeding, and competing with purebred dogs.
Gain knowledge
- Dog club members are knowledgeable about canine nutrition, health, training,
and development. A dog club is the place to meet experts on your
breed of dog and learn the fine arts of showing your dog and participating
in agility, obedience, and many other dog events.
Contribute
to your community - Dog clubs strive to promote and protect dogs in their
communities. Club members teach responsible dog ownership by sponsoring
training classes, offering responsible breeder locator services, and by
participating in rescue networks. They monitor and provide
input for legislation governing responsible dog ownership.
Based in
Boise, Idaho, our Idaho Capital City Kennel Club offers information through
our educational programs at monthly meetings, and through our telephone
advice and referral system. Our members are interested in purebred dogs
registered with the American Kennel Club, and our members exhibit their
dogs primarily in conformation, obedience, rally, or agility shows.
We meet at 7pm, on the fourth Tuesday
of each month except
there is no meeting in July, and we have our awards dinner in December. Interested
guests
are
