So Much To Celebrate!

Welcome MCKC Friends to 2025! The past year can be characterized as a lot of “NEW.”

The club has reached OVER $205,000 in charitable donations since 2010.

The club held our first Scent Work Trials – well-received by participants and so much fun.

We held our first Fast CAT and CAT Trials.

Our Dog Show, long held at the Pinehurst Harness Track, moved to the Southeastern North Carolina Agricultural Center.

A lot of new members joined us.

We started regular AKC FIT Dog Walks.

Let’s work together to make the 2025 Year the Club’s best yet.

DO MORE WITH YOUR DOG.
Take a Rally or Obedience Class. Learn Agility. Run your dog in one of MCKC’s Coursing Tests.

Exercise is ultimately important to dogs – as much as it is to humans. Check out the Club’s AKC Fit Walk Schedule!

The Club has donated over $205,000 to dog related charities since 2010. When you volunteer at a Dog Show, a Rally Trial, a Scent Work Trial, an Agility Trial —- you are contributing to future donations.
