Royal Kennel Club

The Royal Kennel Club is the UK’s largest organisation devoted to dog health, welfare and training. Its objective is to make a positive difference to dogs and their owners through education, research, practical guidance and programmes that support responsible ownership throughout a dog’s life. The organisation sets standards through its codes, regulations and activities, supports breeders, trainers, competitors and dog owners, and works with partner organisations to improve canine wellbeing. It is also closely associated with major events including Crufts and provides membership, publications and services for the wider dog community.
