OUR MISSION

As a purebred dog fancier, membership in the Rapid City Kennel Club is a rewarding
and interesting experience. The most prominent activities in the club are the
Matches, All-breed dog shows and Obedience trials. Our club endeavors to offer
educational and enjoyable meetings, some of which are purely social, but most of
which include an educational program such as movies or guest speakers.  Most
importantly, membership in the Rapid City Kennel Club offers friendship, good

and will do all in our power to protect and advance the interest in the pure bred dog.
