| About the Texas Kennel Club |

We hold 2 all breed dog shows under the auspices of the American Kennel Club, each year. And we have a Pet Memorial Fund which provides for the purchase and placement of books on dogs and other pets in the Dallas Public Library System.
We also publish and all-breed directory and support the rescue of abandoned pets through breeders and rescue shelters. And support the Dallas Police Department with bullet and stab proof vests.
The Texas Kennel Club is the oldest continuous member of the American Kennel Club founded in 1898 in Dallas, TX. It is a volunteer, nonprofit organization dedicated to the advancement of all purebred dogs through exhibition and education.
