About the Nebraska Kennel Club
Mission
The mission of the Nebraska Kennel Club is to promote the sport of purebred dogs. Through education, we encourage humane, caring and responsible dog ownership.
Our History
Established in 1923, the Nebraska Kennel Club, Inc. held its first recognized point dog show at the Municipal Auditorium in Omaha on November 16 and 17 of that year. The first show, a benched affair, had an entry of three hundred fifty dogs.
The shows in the early days were all conformation shows. Licensed obedience “tests” were not offered by the Club until 1937. Children’s handling classes, now called Junior Showmanship, were first offered in 1935.
The Nebraska Kennel Club became a member of the American Kennel Club (AKC) in February 1937. The AKC was established in New York in 1884.
The Nebraska Kennel Club is proud of its heritage.
