AKC Canine Partners Launched with Support & Interest from Clubs & Fanciers
Clubs Can Now Apply To Hold Classes For Mixed-Breed Dogs At Stand-Alone Companion Events Starting April 1, 2010Last month, the American Kennel Club launched its new AKC Canine Partners program. In just a few short weeks, more than 1,200 mixed breeds have enrolled and more than 365 AKC events have been approved to hold mixed-breed classes.
With the launch of the AKC Canine Partners program, clubs have a fantastic opportunity to attract new members as well as entries for upcoming events. This program provides a great way for clubs to reach out to other dog-loving organizations in your community. Working together with veterinarians, groomers as well as shelters, clubs can provide training classes and events that other organizations’ clients and customers can participate in.
Encourage your local mixed-breed dog owners to enroll in AKC Canine Partners to take advantage of the programs and benefits AKC has to offer, including enrollment in AKC Companion Animal Recovery pet recovery service and a one-year subscription to AKC Family Dog magazine. Alerting dog owners to ways AKC helps keep all dogs happy, healthy and safe is something we can all be proud to promote.
To learn about all the exciting components of this new program, take a look at the new web site www.akccaninepartners.org. The web site includes updated show trial applications for clubs to apply for mixed-breed classes at upcoming events. If you would like to add mixed-breed classes to an eligible event for which you have already applied, your club may still do so. Contact the Event Operations Department via email at eventplans@akc.org or by phone at 919-816-3579.
If you have any further questions regarding this program, please feel free to contact us directly at akccaninepartners@akc.org.
With your help, we look forward to sharing with this new pool of dog lovers the excitement and joy of AKC Companion Events.
Thank you for your continued support of AKC.
