What Can I Do?
Want to have fun with your dog in the summer holidays? Enjoy the beautiful countryside of Builth Wells and come along to the Welsh Kennel Club Activity Weekend. Rain or shine, all members have a fab time training their dogs in our allocated YKC area and if you feel confident competing with your dog then make sure you enter one of the Crufts qualifiers on offer. With social activities in the evening for you to take part in, it’s a great way to meet or catch up with other like minded YKC members and take part in all of the fun!

About The Welsh Kennel Club
The Welsh Kennel Club was originally formed in 1896 and the then Prince of Wales was the first president. The club faded out during the 1914-18 war but was recorded in the Kennel Club stud book until 1920.
There were few Kennel Club members resident in Wales for many years but in October 1967 some of these met and a decision was made to revive the Welsh Kennel Club. Other Kennel Club members who were interested were called to an informal meeting in November of the same year and these people formed the first committee and it was agreed to open negotiations with the Kennel Club.
A decision was made to broaden the base of the committee and this was done in two stages. Firstly by inviting members of the Kennel Club's Ladies Branch resident in Wales to join the committee and secondly by inviting the three Kennel Club liaison council members for Wales to also join. This was done as it was felt that these latter people, having been duly elected by societies in Wales, could offer helpful advice.
