The
Pasco Florida Kennel Club, Inc. was chartered February 1, 1979 but was
started a number of years before by the efforts of a handful of
dedicated people who shared a love of dogs, a drive to see their breed
improved, and a goal to see the Pasco Club as a vital member of the AKC
and the community.
Pasco
Florida Kennel Club, Inc. is approved to hold sanctioned BOB Matches
and AKC shows. PFKC holds two BOB shows yearly and one BOB Match.
These events will see a response of between 500 entries for matches to
nearly 2,000 entries for shows.
Members
are also active in Jr. Hunter, Master Hunt, and Tracking events. Canine
Good Citizenship tests are offered through the obedience class.
PFKC
is an active community supporter which assists in rabies clinics,
community events, educational workshops and therapy programs. Each
year, PFKC donates 10% of their match and show profits to a selected
entity to benefit a dog oriented program, and was active, through its
affiliate groups, in getting the Dade City ordinance changes from breed
specific to vicious dog. As an active member of ADDA and FAKC as well
as AKC, PFKC contributes in time of crisis which effect animals such as
Hurricane Andrew in South Florida and the Mid-West Floods of 1993.
PFKC
offers conformation and obedience instruction for socialization and/or
competition and has breeder referral. We meet every
fourth Tuesday of the
month at River Ridge
Community, "Tall Pines"
Club House,
10930 Tall Pines Blvd.,
New Port Richey, Florida
34654.
Note December’s meeting

location and there is no
