A Legacy of Passion and Community

Founded in 1951, the Richland County Kennel Club (RCKC) has been a beacon of canine enthusiasm and education in Richland, Ashland, and surrounding regions of Ohio. Guided by a passion for purebred dogs, we foster a welcoming and inclusive environment where dog lovers and enthusiasts can connect, learn, and celebrate the joy of canine companionship.

Dedicated to Education and Engagement

At the heart of our club lies a commitment to education and engagement. We regularly host events and workshops to enhance the understanding and care of dogs in our community. From informative seminars to interactive training sessions, our experienced professionals and volunteers share their knowledge and insights on various aspects of dog ownership, including:

• Training and obedience: From basic commands to advanced agility and rally obedience, we offer training programs for all ages and skill levels.
• Barn Hunt: Join us for thrilling Barn Hunt trials where dogs can showcase their natural instincts in a fun and challenging environment.
• Household Manners: Learn effective techniques to create a harmonious and joyful home environment for both you and your furry companion.

Promoting Welfare and Community Involvement

Beyond individual pursuits, we are dedicated to serving the wider community. Our members have actively contributed to:

• Oxygen Mask Initiative: In 2006, we collaborated to provide vital oxygen masks to local fire departments, ensuring the safety of canines and felines during emergencies.
• Bellville Street Fair: We hosted a public information booth, distributing frisbees and engaging residents with dog-related resources.
