Visitors Welcome

The Providence County Kennel Club now meets on the third Monday of most months, with a few exceptions. We start our meeting at 7:00pm but you are welcome to come early and listen to the 6:30pm board meeting before the regular meeting. The schedule for the next few months is:

  • Monday, April 21 at 7:00
  • Monday, May 19 at 7:00
  • Monday, June 16 at 7:00

We move the date when it conflicts with a Monday holiday or a major regional dog show.

Our board meetings are currently at 6:30 before the regular membership meeting. Members are invited to watch and listen to the board meeting.

We have fond memories of Rick Grant and Tebo who gave a scent discrimination demonstration at our March 2019 meeting. We miss Rick.
