Our Club

About our Club

We are recognized by the Canadian Kennel Club and hold CKC sanctioned earthdog tests twice each year. We also hold practices at our site in Aldergrove, and give seminars and demonstrations.

Our club has made history on several occasions. We held the first CKC earthdog tests and had the first CKC titled earthdogs. Club members also earned the first senior and master earthdog titles.

Club Objectives

	To protect and advance the interests of all breeds eligible for Canadian Kennel Club (CKC) earthdog tests and to encourage sportsmanlike competition at earthdog tests;
	To conduct sanctioned and licensed earthdog tests under the rules of CKC.
	To promote the natural and trained hunting and working abilities of small Terriers and Dachshunds when exposed to hunting situations
	To hold competitions, seminars, fun matches and demonstrations of CKC earthdog tests
