Welcome to the Nebraska Kennel Club Website!

Are you interested in celebrating and strengthening the bond with your dog and looking for fun things to do with them?

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!

Established in 1923, the mission of the Nebraska Kennel Club is to educate and promote enjoyment of our dogs through participation in sanctioned AKC activities for both NKC’s membership and the public at large.
