MRKC was established in 1982. We have several members that are active in AKC conformation, obedience, rally, agility, tracking, barn hunt and more. We also have members that don't compete with their dog(s) at all, but instead have a family pet and joined our club to hang out with other dog lovers.
Our club is the place for all dog lovers whether they have a purebred, mixed breed, rescue or dog they bred themselves. MRKC is for members with a companion dog, performance dog, show dog, or a dog that just wants to be the queen or king of the couch.
You can download our bylaws and the club application from our Files page.
We hold meetings in the Washington, Missouri area at least 6 times a year.
We put on an annual health clinic each Spring and Fall with discounted pricing on many tests, shots, OFA xrays and more.
We host conformation shows and FastCat, obedience, rally and agility trials at Purina Farms each year.
We are a working club so members who participate in AKC events and earn titles on their dogs and complete the club's requirements earn a nice plaque at our annual awards banquet.
Food, Friends, Fellowship, Fun and Fur - These all go together for a good time at our picnic every Spring.
We do so much more. Some examples include ringing the bell for the Franklin County Humane Society and raising money for K9 ballistic vests.
If you are looking to add a purebred dog to your family,
please learn about your chosen breed beforehand. Visit a local dog show and chat with an exhibitor of the breed you like. We urge you to buy your puppy from a breeder who has experience in that breed, does health testing on their dogs and breeds to the AKC breed standard.
