About Us

Albany Kennel Club was founded in 1943.  We’re a fairly small club; membership is currently in the upper twenties.  Member interests include conformation, obedience, rally, agility, tracking, rescue, and barn hunt. We hold two point shows a year in October in conjunction with the Troy Kennel Club, and a match in June. We meet nine time per year.  Meetings are on the first Tuesday of the month at 7:00 PM. No meetings January, February, and July. Our non-summer meetings are dinner meetings.  During covid they were usually with virtual components.  The physical portion of the non-summer meetings are held at local restaurants. Please come a little earlier and join us for dinner. Guests are always welcome.

Summer meetings are held at the Henry Hudson Park in Selkirk, NY.  No food, no drink, questionable seating.  Advise bringing your own.  Starting in 2022 the summer recess month is July instead of August.  Reason for the change is that July meetings conflicted with the July shows in West Springfield, and often the Fourth of July as well.
