Seniors

If you are aged 17 - 24 years there is still lots of scope for you to be involved with the Young Kennel Club

Support our petition to repeal the Dangerous Dogs Act and replace it with better legislation

You need to be 18 or over to sign this petition

The Kennel Club is part of the Dangerous Dogs Act Study Group (DDASG), a wide-ranging group representing animal welfare, local authorities and veterinary professional organisations including Battersea Dogs Home, Blue Cross, British Veterinary Association, Dogs Trust, Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons etc.

We consider that the Dangerous Dogs Act needs to be overhauled to better protect the public and that a new dog control regime that emphasises responsible dog ownership should be introduced.

Please can you support our Dog Control Bill being put forward today by Lord Redesdale, which seeks to better protect the public, place greater responsibility on dog owners and remove the huge welfare implications affecting dogs deemed to be of a certain type by signing the following petition:

Volunteering

If you are up for a challenge then why not volunteer your skills and help out at the YKC events and activities.  We are always looking for members with training and judging experience to pass on their knowledge to  the younger members.  Contact the YKC office or call 020 7518 1030 to register your services.

Canine Event Management

If you have always wanted to go behind the scenes at shows, we actively promote development within the canine world to ensure that our members are ready to take the lead in the future.  Get involved with stewarding and judge's programmes and play your part in continuing the world of dogs.

Seminars and Workshops

If you have a thirst for knowledge, our workshops and courses give members the chance to polish their skills in a variety or areas ranging from commentating to hands on assessments.
