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
tracking, from field trials to lure coursing 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.

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-discriminatory 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.

Issue Analysis: Conforma tion Show s
– More Than Just a Pretty Face
H
dle has such a interesting haircut? It’s
an inevitable question for many dog
show spectators.
Contrary to popular
belief, it’s not the
artistic whim of the
dog’s handler or
groomer, but rather
a cut dating back
centuries that helps
the poodle be a better swimmer.
The word “poodle” likely originates from the German
word pudel, meaning “to splash in the
water”. Poodles are excellent swimmers.
Their original purpose was as a hunting
dog that would retrieve birds in the
water. Owners would shear portions of
their coat to help facilitate movement in
the water, but leave sections of their fur

duties for which it was bred.
Because conformation dog shows ultimately judge the quality of breeding
stock, the AKC requires that all dogs
competing in these shows be intact (not
spayed/neutered). If a dog cannot be
bred, it cannot participate in a conformation show. A dog show celebrates and
rewards high-quality breeding, while substandard breeding and quality either
receive poor marks or are disqualified.
A Noble Tradition
The exhibition of dogs is a sport with a
long, proud heritage. The sport as we
know it today has many of its roots in
Victorian England, where in the 19th
Century, aristocratic English gentlemen
would gather together at
local public houses and
taverns and proudly
exhibit their dogs. The
first organized dog show
as we know them today
was held in Newcastleon-Tyne in 1859.
According to The
Kennel Club (UK), 60
Pointer and Setter
breeds were entered in
this first show1.
The popularity of the sport continued to
expand (as did the number of breeds
included), and dog shows began in the
United States just after the Civil War. In
1877, Queen Victoria entered a Scottish
Deerhound at the first Westminster Kennel
Club dog show at Gilmore’s Garden (now
Madison Square Garden) in New York City.
Even as the sport expanded, special care
was taken to ensure the quality of the dogs
and that proper, safe breeding was main-
“Dog shows highlight the amazing
diversity of purebred dogs and
the broad variety of tasks they
can perform.”
Understanding Conformation Shows
The purpose of conformation shows is
simple – to determine how well dogs
conform to the established breed standard. In this way, dog shows are not
unlike horse shows or other animal
stock shows, where there is intense competition among breeders to prove both
the quality of an animal and that it possesses the temperament and physical
characteristics required to perform the
In an all-breed show such as the
AKC/Eukanuba National Championship
or the Westminster Kennel Club show,
the competition begins with the judging
of each individual breed. The winners of
each breed advance to their group competition. AKC breeds are divided into
seven groups (Terrier, Sporting, Hounds,
Non-Sporting, Working, Herding, and
Toys) based on recognized breed characteristics and the purpose for which they
were originally developed (For example,
a Beagle is a member of the Hound

professionals and amateurs regularly compete directly with
one another. These exhibitors,
regardless of whether they are
professional handlers or ownerhandlers, ensure that their dogs
are in the best health, of the
best quality, and exemplify the
best of their breed.
Dog show exhibitors are
also excellent resources for
spectators who are considering
purchasing a dog. Most are
breed experts and once they
are finished showing for the
day, are happy to talk about
their dog’s breed, temperament, and care requirements.
Purebred dogs benefit from
dog shows, too. Shows are not
only fun, they also provide a
level of accountability for
competitors to make sure their
dogs are properly bred and
raised. The competitive
aspect encourages the breeding and raising of better dogs
and better pets. They are also
educational opportunities for
competitors and spectators alike
to learn about the various AKC-registered breeds and proper dog care.
Experts on dog breeding, care, health
and genetics abound at dog shows.
Conformation dog shows are a fun,
family-friendly way to spend time with
dogs and interact with fellow dog lovers.
The AKC’s Junior Showmanship program reaches out to young people 9-18
years of age.
Juniors competitions provide the
opportunity for
young people to
learn about dogs,
develop dog handling skills, and
learn good sportsmanship.
The AKC also
conducts a competitive scholarship program for Juniors
who have competed in the sport. Each
year, approximately 30 college scholarships are awarded. Applicants must
provide details about their experience
in the sport, work they have done in the
community in support of responsible
dog ownership, and an essay on the
influence that purebred dogs have had
on their lives.
tained. Major James M. Taylor, the first
President of the American Kennel Club,
emphasized the need for a standard set of
rules. The AKC maintains a strict set of
rules governing AKC dog shows to this day.
In addition, the breed parent club of each
breed recognized by the American Kennel
Club maintains a very specific breed standard to ensure the quality of the dogs and
preservation of the characteristics that

enable them to perform the tasks for which
they were originally bred. Only a breed
parent club can alter a breed standard.
Outside the Ring
Participation in conformation dog
shows requires an extensive amount of
work, travel, and an immense depth of
expertise in the breed being shown. Dog
shows are one of the few events in which
It Pays to Support
AKC Dog Shows!
The American Kennel Club hosted its
first dog show in Philadelphia in 1926
in conjunction with the celebration of
the 150th anniversary of the signing of
the Declaration of Independence. Since
that time, the popularity of dogs and
dog shows has grown exponentially in
the United States.
Each year, thousands of AKC
conformation dog shows take place
in communities in every state. Local
clubs and organizations also host thousands of additional AKC obedience,
agility, field trial, and other competitions throughout the country.
Each of these events generates significant revenue for local businesses
including hotels, restaurants, shops,
transportation, and event venues,
among others.
This revenue is in addition to the millions of dollars responsible dog owners
spend on their pets at local businesses
each year on such items as dog food,
grooming, veterinary care and boarding.
When considering whether to support
a piece of canine legislation, consider
the effect it may have on dog competitions and dog ownership among your
constituency. Supporting dog shows
and responsible dog ownership has a
ripple effect that benefits a community’s residents, local businesses, and
overall economy.
For more information about the
economic impact of AKC shows and
dog ownership in your state, visit
www.akc.org/governmentrelations and
click on the “Government Relations
Toolbox” link.
Dogs have made a positive impact on
the lives of millions of Americans.
Conformation shows are a fun way to
celebrate some of the most exquisite
dogs in the world, the dedication of
their breeders, and the wonderful purpose and characteristics that make each
AKC-registered breed unique.

AKC EVENTS iN BriEf
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 Aframe, 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 provide 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 opportunity 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 functions 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 championships.
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.

BOEING K-9 PROGRAM:
The Boeing Company ‘s K-9 Program
consists of more than eight K-9 teams,
one trainer, a kennel master and a team
of highly trained explosive Detection
Dogs deployed at various sites throughout
the enterprise to provide its employees,
contractors and visitors a safe work
environment. Boeing currently has K-9
units working in the State of Washington,
Southern California, Wichita, Kansas,
North Charleston, South Carolina, and
Chicago, Ill. This program, which grew out
of Boeing’s need for enhanced security
in the aftermath of 9/11, was established
in November 2001. K-9 members of the
Explosive Detection Dog program work
with Boeing Security to identify and alert
on suspicious material and are trained
to detect over 17,000 different explosive
based chemicals and compounds. Boeing’s
explosive detection dogs have been on the
job at shareholders meetings, customer
product delivery events, on the field and
flight lines during flight tests, and at major
employee forums held at Boeing facilities.
Selecting a K-9 requires that the dog and
handler are the right fit for the job. Today’s
K-9s are often recruited from rescue
shelters or from other service dog training
programs. The dogs are tested out to see
if being an explosive detection dog is the
right skill match. If they pass the test, they
go into training and certification. Each
K-9 and handler are certified together as
a team once a year. The dogs become part
of the handler’s family, as the handler is
responsible for his or her dog 24 hours a
day. Typically, these dogs, often Labradors,
German Shepherds, Belgian Malinois and
even mixed breads, have tenure of six to
eight years in the program. When they
retire from active duty the dogs often
remain part of their handler’s family. In
addition to their work keeping people,
products and property safe, Boeing’s K-9
teams actively participate in the community
as goodwill ambassadors. Members of
the K-9 unit make themselves available
for demonstrations, safety fairs and
other public events. Boeing is the world’s
leading aerospace company and the largest
manufacturer of commercial jetliners and
military aircraft combined.

K9 NOSE WORK
DEMONSTRATION TEAM:
See a demonstration of the newest and
fastest growing dog sport for the very first
time at the Seattle Kennel Club Dog Show.
This exciting and inclusive detection-style
activity is appropriate for dogs of any
age, breed, size, or physical ability and
handlers of all ages and abilities. K9 Nose
Work has been featured in the August
2009 issue of The Whole Dog Journal, the
June 2010 issue of Bark Magazine, the
November/ December 2010 issue of The
APDT Chronicle – the Seattle Kennel Club
website http:// www.seattlekennelclub.org/
i-get-it-andit-all-makesscents/ The Seattle
Times http://o.seattletimes.nwsource.com/
html/local news/2012881334_nosework13m.
html - as well as having been presented
at national professional dog training
conferences. The sport of K9 Nose Work was
first developed in 2008 by a retired police
K9 trainer and two of his cohorts. Some of
the many benefits include deepening the
owner/dog relationship while expending
the dogs’ excess energy, and putting their
minds to work in a sport that can be taught
and practiced indoors with minimal needs
for equipment (recycled cardboard boxes)
and space. Dogs leave class happy and tired
while their owners leave amazed at what
the dogs can do. K9 Nose Work provides an
energetic and focused outlet for any dog.
The sport also brings special benefits for
dogs with issues such as lack of confidence
or focus, overly reactive around other
dogs and/or people, dogs convalescing
from medical issues, generalized social
or situational anxiety preventing them
from joining a typical group training class,
hearing or sight impairments, and retired
conformation, competition, service, or
working dogs in need of a ‘job’ to keep
them busy and happy. K9 Nose Work has
been shown to improve dogs’ performance
in other dog sports. In September 2009
Miriam Rose first brought K9 Nose work
to Washington State. As Washington’s
first Certified Nose Work Instructor (and
a professional K9 detection trainer/
handler), she offers weekly classes at
numerous conveniently located regional
training centers in Western Washington.
Four levels of classes keep owners and
dogs progressing at each team’s individual
pace. Exciting Northwest and national
competitions have already been held and
more are in the planning stages. Come
and join the fun with your dog! “Bringing
the sport of K9 Nose Work to the Pacific
Northwest, one happy dog at a time.”

R2AGILITY, INTRODUCTION TO AGILITY:
Agility is the ultimate game for you
and your dog. It is also one of the most
exciting canine sports for spectators. In
agility, a dog demonstrates its agile nature
and versatility by following cues from the
handler through a timed obstacle course.
The course has jumps, tunnels, weave poles,
and other obstacles. Agility strengthens
the bond between dogs and handlers, it
is extremely fun, and it provides vigorous
exercise for both!
SEATTLE POLICE DEPARTMENT
CANINE UNIT:
For the past 43 years, highly trained
Seattle Police canines have been patrolling
the streets of your city on a nightly basis.
Our Generalist Patrol Dogs have located
thousands of criminals that would have
otherwise gotten away. Our Narcotics
Detection Dog teams have helped take
millions of dollars’ worth of drugs of the
streets and have seized millions of dollars
in illegally obtained property. Since
being provided by the Bureau of Alcohol,
Tobacco and Firearms, our Explosives
Detection Dogs have instilled peace of
mind and helped make the region safer.
All of our current patrol canines have been
purchased by private donations through the
Seattle Police Foundation. When our dogs
reach retirement age they live out the rest
of their lives with their officer-handlers. As
K9 senior citizens, most require veterinary
care for injuries or wear-and tear received
while serving your community. Since the
Seattle Police Department no longer pays
for that care, members of the Canine Unit
formed a non-profit corporation to collect
monies to pay for these medical costs.
Since 2001, the Retired Seattle Police
Canine Fund has paid more than $25,000 in
veterinary costs. If you would like to donate
to the R.S.P.C.F., you can mail your taxdeductible check to: RSPCF P.O. Box 84423

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.

identification, and enroll your dog in a national recovery registry to greatly increase the chances your dog will be returned
to you in case of separation.
Clean up after your dog in public. Before leaving for an outing, put several plastic grocery
bags in your pocket to use for quick and easy pick up.

stroke and death. Be sure to provide adequate shelter for your
dog in all types of weather.

other pets are part of your organized emergency evacuation
plan. Rehearse the plan repeatedly with your family.

Keep Your Dog Healthy!
Consistency is key when it comes to feeding
your dog. Feed the same high quality dog food at the same
time each day. Don’t overfeed. Provide plenty of fresh water,
and keep your dog’s bowls clean.

What sets the AKC apart
from other dog registries? Plenty!
®
The AKC...
is a not-for-profit organization.

of disease, the canine genome map, and clinical studies. AKC has
donated over $24 million to the AKC CHF since 1995.
is the only registry that incorporates health screening results into
its permanent dog records. Dogs certified to be free of hip or elbow
dysplasia through the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals (OFA)

Registration Foundation (CERF) have their clearance numbers
printed on AKC-certified pedigrees and registration documents.
founded AKC Reunite, which has reunited more than 400,000 lost pets with their owners and
supports Canine Search and Rescue (SAR) organizations throughout the United States.
created the AKC Humane Fund which supports breed Rescue activities, assists shelters that permit
domestic abuse victims to bring their pets and educates dog lovers about responsible dog ownership.
offers a Canine Good Citizen® program - A 10-step test that certifies dogs who have good manners at
home and in the community. Over 600,000 dogs across the United States have become Canine Good
Citizens and 42 states have passed resolutions recognizing the program’s merit and importance.
conducts thousands of kennel inspections annually to monitor care and conditions at kennels across
the country and ensure the integrity of the AKC registry.
operates a Government Relations department that provides input for federal, state, and local
legislation governing responsible dog ownership.
offers the largest, most comprehensive set of DNA programs for the purposes of parentage verification
and genetic identity to ensure reliable registration records.
supports one of the world’s largest collections of dog-related fine art and artifacts at the AKC Museum
of the Dog, which is open to the public.
houses the world’s largest dog library, which is open to the public.
manages a Registered Handler’s Program that sets criteria and standards for responsible,
knowledgeable, professional handlers.
We’re more than champion dogs. We’re the dog’s champion.
