About Fond du lac County Kennel Club, Inc.

What it is

The Fond du Lac County Kennel Club describes itself as "An AKC Sanctioned Dog Club approved to hold events in Breed, Obedience, Rally, Agility, FastCat, and Scentwork." Its own history line reads: "The Fond du Lac County Kennel Club was established in January, 1975 by a merger of the Fond du Lac Dog Club and the Lakeside Kennel Club. It was then recognized by the American Kennel Club as a Club of Record in September, 1975."

What is open to the public

The club is a member organization that also opens some of its floor to non-members: "The Fond du Lac Kennel Club also offers public classes for conformation and scent work, and run thrus for agility and fastcat, in Fond du Lac." Its site carries a "Training Classes Offered" section and directs all scheduling questions to one place: "For information, questions, or to send a message about Training Classes offered and Schedules, please go to the Class Schedule Page (check this page for class updates first)."
