Membership Information

There are two types of membership, open to all persons eighteen years of age or older who are in good standing with the American Kennel Club and who subscribe to the purposes of this club. They are regular and associate.
Regular (full) membership enjoys all privileges of the club including voting and holding office. It is recommended that a full member be able to attend a minimum of 3 meetings and work at 2 events per year.
Associate membership enjoys all privileges of the club except voting and holding office. To convert an Associate membership to regular membership, an application shall be filed with the secretary and each application shall be read and voted upon at the first club meeting following its receipt. While membership is to be unrestricted as to residence, the club’s primary purpose is to be representative of the breeders and exhibitors in its area.
Each applicant for either type of membership shall apply on a form. The applicant agrees to abide by the constitution and by-laws and the rules of the American Kennel Club. The application will include name, address, and occupation of the applicant. Each applicant must be endorsed by two club members in good standing. Each application will be read at the first meeting of the club following receipt of the application. At the following (next) club meeting, the application will be voted upon. To be accepted, 2/3 of members present must vote affirmative.

Please view and/or print the club membership application or contact Susan Raney, membership chair, for more information concerning membership.
