The Penn Ridge Kennel Club
is a non-profit organization that promotes purebred dog activities and
supports dog related charities.
Our main activities are our
two All Breed AKC shows for conformation with Junior Showmanship classes,
an Obedience Trial and Rally trial held the second weekend in August
(see Our Shows for more information,
or go to Jim Rau Dog Shows for a
premium list), our participation in the Canine
Learning Experience each January and the Quakertown Pet Fair. We also hold Match
shows (see Septemberfest)
and have sponsored vaccination and health clinics at some of our events.
We have sponsored educational presentations at our meetings and have
participated in the AKC Good Citizen program.
Beginning in 2008, the Penn
Ridge Kennel Club helps sponsor the "Farm to Fun - Dogs Do It All" program
for the PA Farm Show in January. (See "Farm Show" under Community Activities
for more information) and we look forward to helping sponsor this great
event in years to come.
The Penn Ridge Kennel Club
has also sponsored student art contests to promote awareness of the
responsibility of owning a dog as well as recognize artistic talent
in the youth of the Penn Ridge area. |
