WORDS WE LIVE BY

OUR MANDATE

The members of the Nanaimo Kennel Club are dedicated to the betterment of dogs everywhere.

EDUCATION

We will undertake the task of educating and encouraging Members, newcomers and the general public to the world of dogs, no matter what their interest, be it pet owner, competitor or breeder.

NKC JUNIOR CLUB

We are focused towards teaching our children the joy of dog companionship, the fun of training and competing with their dog while developing a strong appreciation and bond with dogs.

DOGS ARE ATHLETES

Dogs love to be active, exercising both their minds and bodies.  Whatever the training experience – it should always be positive and fun for dog and owner.

DOGS ARE FAMILY

We recognize that dogs are social animals. As such, members agree that our dogs are part of the family and should be included in our day-to-day activities wherever possible.
