 Kennel club - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A kennel club (known as a kennel council or canine council in some countries) is an organization for canine affairs that concerns itself with the welfare, promotion, and maintenance of more than one breed of dog.
All-encompassing kennel clubs are also referred to as 'all-breed clubs', although "all" means only those breeds that they have decided to recognize, and "breed" means purebred dogs, not including dog hybrids and crossbreeds or mixed breeds.
Kennel clubs can be for working dogs or show dogs.

 Kennel clubs, dog registration and pedigrees
A dog registration in the AKC (American Kennel Club) the UKC (United Kennel Club), or the CKC (Canadian Kennel Club is better than a registration in a lesser known Registry, or no registry at all, as these are truly devoted to the betterment of breeds and have stood the test of time.
A kennel club is usually devoted to the betterment of purebred dogs, either for many breeds or for a single breed.
Kennel clubs, or breed clubs, may also provide for breed rescue, breeder referrals, breed history; a list and description of health issues that may be common to the breed; and relevant articles and references to other agencies involved in the welfare of any particular breed.
