kennel club
Canine registry group
A kennel club is an organization that registers purebred dogs, maintains breed standards, and sanctions dog shows and competitions.
The American Kennel Club and the Kennel Club (UK) are the most prominent examples.
Kennel clubs determine which breeds are officially recognized and establish the criteria by which dogs are judged: Her golden retriever is registered with the kennel club.
