CPE - Canine Performance Events
Canine Performance Events (CPE) makes dog sports fun, fair, and welcoming for all. Along with agility, CPE offers games like SpeedWay, Canine Scent Work, and Agility with games like Snooker, Colors, Wildcard, Jackpot, FullHouse, and Handler Games that challenge teamwork and creativity. Dogs of any breed or background can participate, with events focused on safety, enjoyment, and building confidence. Through clubs, volunteers, and trials, CPE strengthens the bond between people and their dogs while fostering a supportive community.
A Kalamazoo, Michigan-based company founded in 1898, United Kennel Club is the largest all-breed performance-dog registry in the world, registering dogs from all 50 states and 25 foreign countries. Celebrating the unique Total Dog philosophy, UKC events highlight the instincts and heritage of dogs that look and perform equally well, as more than 60 percent of its annually licensed events are tests of hunting ability, training, and instinct. United Kennel Club prides itself on its family-oriented, friendly, educational events, welcoming both purebred dogs and dogs of unknown ancestry.
UK Agility International was created specifically to provide agility competitors with a unique setting in which safety and fun for every dog is a key priority. Above all, the organisation aims to promote the growth of agility and raise performance standards by encouraging training in a competitive arena using reward-based training methods. This helps to improve dog and handler relationships and also helps create a friendly and relaxed environment for dogs, handlers, family and spectators.
Since its inception UKI has grown from strength to strength and now has over 14,000 registered Members, with around 1000 more joining each year.
A number of dog breeds were originally created specifically to be vermin hunters. Of those, there was a subset of dogs who were bred to go to ground (go underground) and eliminate or pull prey from their dens. These traditional go-to-ground earthdog breeds included Jack and Parson Russell Terriers, Cairn Terriers, Border Terriers, Dachshunds, and many others. Because they had to go down underground in animal burrows, those dogs were necessarily small.Today Barn Hunt is the fastest growing dog sport in the U.S.* The popularity of the sport has exploded because the dogs and the people have so much fun. We welcome everyone, from seasoned dog sport competitors to people who have never even been to a dog show before. Our titles are recognized by the American Kennel Club, United Kennel Club, and Canadian Kennel Club.
The North American Flyball Association, Inc. (NAFA®) was established in 1984, when 12 flyball clubs in Michigan and Ontario banded together to guide the development of flyball in North America. Today, with over 400 active clubs and 6,500 competing dogs, NAFA is recognized as the world's leading authority on flyball and the sport's top sanctioning organization. NAFA is a nonprofit organization.
InfoDog was the first totally interactive web site dedicated to the sport of Dog Shows and we remain today - the most comprehensive and reliable web resource available for information on AKC Dog Show statistics and schedules, and quality dog products and services.
Today, over 30,000 dog fanciers visit us each day and they spend an average of 25 minutes per visit.
Our dedication to the sport, as well as our active support of Breeders, Parent Clubs, the AKC, and the AKC Canine Health Foundation in educating the general public about the need for continued canine health research, the promotion of quality and ethical breeding of purebred dogs, and the unethical operations of puppy mills - is the reason that Dog Fanciers return to our site week after week.
