3 AKC Dog Clubs In Washington There are nearly 5000 dog clubs in the United States that hold affiliated events under the umbrella of the AKC for competition by AKC registered dogs. Some are national parent clubs, others local specialty clubs, and still others are devoted to a broad variety of events from agility to obedience and , from field trials to and herding tests and trials. Many clubs meet monthly, others bi-monthly, and yet others more infrequently. All were formed by a diverse group of dog lovers who share the common interest of raising, training, breeding and competing with purebred dogs. These clubs not only further the sport of purebred dogs, but also many strive to promote and protect dogs in their communities, share in educational programs, sponsor training classes and health clinics, and operate a rescue network, as well as responsible breeder locator service.

5 The DeeD ... NoT The BreeD! The American Kennel Club® believes a dog should be judged by its deeds, not its breed. We support reasonable, enforceable, non-discrim- inatory laws that govern the ownership of all dogs, regardless of breed or type. Breed-specific legislation hurts responsible dog owners, does not protect communities and distracts from the real issue – responsible dog ownership. AKC knows there are better, more effective alternatives. Support AKC efforts to stop breed-specific legislation.

Think legislation doesn’t affect you? Think again. Today your rights as a dog owner and breeder are threatened by unjust limit laws, breed-spe- cific bills, and breeding restrictions. AKC works for responsible dog ownership and respon- sible legislation. Each year we monitor more than 850 state and national bills to protect the rights of dogs and their owners. We can’t imagine a world without dogs — can you?

When you register your purebred dog with AKC, you can participate in...

Agility Agility blends training and athletic ability, creating challenge and excitement for every breed. Dogs demonstrate their ability to negotiate a complex course that includes climbing an A- frame, jumping through hoops, running through tunnels and pausing on command. Competing in agility requires proper training, as it is a game of physical skill, control, patience and, most of all, teamwork between a handler and dog.

Obedience Obedience trials promote better canine-human companionship by encouraging basic good behavior in dogs. Obedience competitions test a dog’s ability to perform a prescribed set of exercises. Competing in obedience requires preparation, as it is a game of control, patience and teamwork between a handler and dog.

Rally® Rally is a sport in which the dog and handler complete a course that has been designed by the rally judge. The judge tells the handler to begin, and the dog and handler proceed at their own pace through a course of designated stations (10 - 20, depending on the level). Each of these stations has a sign providing instructions regarding the next skill that is to be performed. Scoring is not as rigorous as traditional obedience.

Dog Shows (Junior Showmanship) Dog shows celebrate and help preserve the distinctive features of different breeds and pro- vide a forum in which dogs are evaluated for future breeding programs. Handlers enter the show ring with their dogs so judges can evaluate the dogs’ conformation, or how closely their physical structure conforms to their particular breeds’ standards (detailed descriptions of each breed).

Junior Showmanship offers children between the ages of 10 and 18 years of age an opportu- nity to develop their handling skills, learn about good sportsmanship and learn about dogs and dog shows. Juniors are judged on their ability to present, or handle, their dogs as they would in the breed ring. Juniors may also gain recognition in performance and field events such as obedience, agility, earthdog and lure coursing.

Field Trials Field trials offer practical demonstrations of a dog’s ability to perform in the field the func- tions for which it was bred. Field events are open to pointing breeds, retrievers, spaniels, Beagles, Basset Hounds and Dachshunds. Events vary according to breeds’ functions, but in each case, dogs compete against each other for placements and points toward their champion- ships.

Hunting Tests Hunting tests evaluate a dog’s hunting abilities on different elements of pointing, retrieving or flushing. The dog’s ability to perform is judged against a standard of perfection established by the AKC regulations.

Think it can’t happen?

Think again.

If we spay and neuter all dogs and ban all breeding, where will it lead?

Read the fine print when contributing to your pet causes. You may be support- ing an animal rights group that equates owning domestic pets to exploitation, which threatens your right to own a dog.

We’re more than champion dogs. We’re the dog’s champion.

How to Approach a Dog Remember these steps when meeting and greeting a dog: Always walk slowly and quietly to the dog’s owner to ask if you can pet the dog. If the owner says “yes,” curl your hand into a closed fist with the back of your hand facing upward. Extend your hand slowly to the dog. Allow the dog to sniff the back of your hand. We recognize people on sight; dogs recognize people by scent. Dogs sniff people to learn their scent. After the dog has sniffed your hand and has become familiar with you, pet it gently under the chin or on the chest. Respect a dog’s space. Do not stick your face into a dogs face or poke or prod at a dog with your hands this may make a dog feel afraid.
