The Antelope Valley Kennel Club is a non-profit organization that operates under the rules and regulations set forth by the American Kennel Club.
Antelope Valley Kennel Club Inc. (AVKC) was founded in 1955 by a group of local dog enthusiasts. Their intention was to showcase pure-bred dogs as companion animals in an agricultural community where dogs were regarded as working stock, while at the same time allowing fellow breeders to exhibit the best of their stock and helping to safeguard the traits and temperaments of their individual breeds of dog.
