About Us
Thank you for your interest the Oshkosh Kennel Club.
Here is a little about the Oshkosh Kennel Club
OKC holds monthly meetings of the general membership on the second Wednesday of each month at which there is a business meeting and a program of interest to the membership. In the past these programs have been things such as a Representative from AKC, local veterinarians speaking on topics of importance to breeders, and speakers on various aspects of raising, training and showing dogs. The month of August we have our annual picnic in place of the monthly meeting. The month of December we have our annual awards banquet in place of the monthly meeting. OKC also sponsors events such as All-Breed Shows, Obedience, Rally, Agility and Fast Cat Trials, CGC Tests and a Spring B-OB Match. Training Classes for Conformation, Obedience, Rally and Agility are offered throughout the year.
Origin
The Oshkosh Kennel Club, Inc. was established in July of 1963. The Club was recognized as a Club of Record by the American Kennel Club on May 16, 1970. The officers of the club consist of President, Vice President, Recording and Corresponding Secretaries, Treasurer, four additional Members of the Board of Directors and various Committee Chairpersons.
Objectives
The Oshkosh Kennel Club’s membership is a group of dog lovers who have
joined together to train and show our beloved dogs in a wide variety of
events and venues.
We promote pure-bred dogs by holding a two-day conformation show every
spring.
The Club conducts training classes in many events including Obedience,
Rally, Nose Work and Agility. These classes are open to the public as well as
to our members. All dogs are welcome: mixed breeds, which the American
Kennel Club designates as “All-Americans” as well as purebreds.
We hold Obedience, Rally, Agility and FastCAT trials throughout the year,
making us a very active club. CGC tests and a Spring B-OB (Fun) Match are
also held.
New members are always welcome whether you are an experienced dog
person or first-time dog owner. There are many volunteer positions available
which take little or no previous experience.
