1. To what major factor do you attribute the success of the Louisville Kennel Club?
We are fortunate to be in a central location, easily accessible by road or air, and we have an outstanding facility in which to hold our shows which not only accommodates the show but offers space for over 50 dog-related booths, making it a mecca for both exhibitors and spectators. In addition, the Louisville Kennel Club has a multifaceted focus. We are both involved in and committed to our community, as evidenced by purchasing dogs for our local police force and supporting Kentucky Harvest (a volunteer organization that feeds the hungry), and to the dog fancy, as evidenced by sponsoring Responsible Dog Ownership Day events, holding all-age matches, and providing conformation training classes. Additionally, the club has initiated litigation to protect not only the dog showing fancy, but also the least fortunate among us from a Draconian local animal ordinance.
