The Nebraska Kennel Club is made up of fellow dog lovers and offers events and education for pet parents and all dogs whether purebred or mixed breed. The NKC offers a multitude of dog sports and activities, including Conformation, Obedience, Rally, Fast CAT, Tracking, and Scent Work, as well as recommendations for training resources. There are so many reasons to become involved, and so much to do with your dog!
