The Tennessee Valley Kennel Club is a member club and was founded in 1934 to promote all breeds of purebred dogs by conducting competitive shows, events and public education under the rules of the American Kennel Club.
We encourage good sportsmanship at every event and are advocates for canine health, canine good citizenship, responsible dog ownership, and ethical breeding practices. All our activities are designed to provide purebred dogs and their owners with engaging, lasting, and fun ways to celebrate the canine-human connection. |
Established in 1944, the Oak Ridge Kennel Club is an American Kennel Club licensed organization that seeks to promote the sport of dogs while providing service for the community and fellowship for all interested in our canine friends.
Oak Ridge Kennel Club offers you a friendly group of people who love their dogs as much as you do. We offer a wide variety classes and socialization opportunities for both you and your canine in a close-knit community. |
