AKC Shows

Since its inception in 1954, the Penn Ridge Kennel Club has held shows in various locations including Hilltown, Kulpsville, New Hope and Ottsville.

2011 Shows

The Penn Ridge Kennel Club will again hold two shows in 2011 as part of the three day Keystone Cluster in Harrisburg, PA.:

Friday, August 12, 2011- PRKC All Breed Show & Rally Competition
Saturday, August 13, 2011- PRKC All Breed Show & Obedience Trial

Each day also includes Junior Showmanship Competition classes for children and their dogs.

The shows are located at the Farm Show Complex in Harrisbug, PA., in the air conditioned Expo Hall.

Our new indoor air conditioned site was extremely well received by the fancy. The Farm Show Complex offers plenty of parking, is easily accessible for those coming from a distance to our shows, and affords exhibitors, vendors and spectators the opportunity to enjoy the events of the weekend without concern for heat or rain.

Our August shows draw over 125 different AKC breeds, and the Obedience and Rally Competition are big hits with the exhibitors.

The shows also feature many vendors who bring a wide variety of unusual merchandise for dogs and dog lovers.

For the premium list, to enter our shows, or sign up as a vendor please contact sunup1001@comcast.net for more information and concessions contract.

Admission to our shows is $6.00 for anyone over 12; children under 12 accompanied by an adult are admitted free. Please print and bring the coupon below for a $1.00 discount on your admission:

Junior Showmanship

The Penn Ridge Kennel Club support AKC Junior Showmanship activities as a way to encourage young people in our sport, realizing that today's Juniors will go on to become tomorrow's successful breeders, exhibitors, judges and club members who will take over as guardians of the AKC purebred dogs that we love.

We offer great prizes, such as all day passes to HERSHEYPARK and electronics, for our Junior Showmanship classes and sponsor an educational clinic for Juniors at our Friday show with a luncheon and raffle just for participants. In addition, the AKC George Ward Scholarship fund is one of the beneficiaries of our annual casino night.

 

Juniors Clinic

In addition to supporting our Juniors Classes with great prizes, including all day passes to HERSHEYPARK, Savings Bonds, Vendor Bucks and sponsor prizes, Penn Ridge Kennel Cub is also proud to present, with our sponsor Royal Canin, a juniors seminar/ clinic and luncheon where professional handlers donate their time and expertise to help our Juniors better their handling skills.

Those participating in Junior Handling Classes at our show on Friday, August 12 are invited to attend the luncheon/seminar where there is a raffle just for those juniors. There is no fee to attend the luncheon/seminar...registration is Friday morning, August 12, at the show.

HERSHEYPARK 2011

Dog shows are a family sport, and HERSHEYPARK and Dutch Wonderland are family fun places to visit. HERSHEYPARK is located in Hershey, Pa, about a half hour from our show site, and Dutch Wonderland is located in Lancaster, Pa.

We are proud to offer All Day Passes to HERSHEYPARK as part of our Junior Showmanship and Handlers of Tomorrow prizes.
