The Huntington Kennel Club was incorporated April, 1938, when William S. O' Brien
was the West Virginia Secretary of State. The club's objectives were "To advance, encourage
and promote in every way" the owning , breeding, training and exhibiting of purebred dogs.
The club held it's first dog show in 1939. A gap in club records leads to the assumption
that no shows were held during the WW2 years, when the entire country was turned to more
serious business. The HKC charter was reactivated in 1950, when yet another O'Brien
West Virginia Secretary of State D. Pitt O'Brien. The Huntington Kennel Club, Inc.
still holds conformation shows and matches, obedience trials and educational programs
The objectives of the Club are;
(a) to futher the advancement of
all breeds of purebred dogs;
(b) to do all in its power to pro-
tect and advance the interests
of all breeds of purebred dogs
and to encourage sportsmanlike
competition at dog shows and
obedience trials;
(c) to conduct sanctioned matches,
dog shows and obedience trials
under the rules of the American
Kennel Club;
(d) to protect the health and wel-
fare of all dogs. Club policy
is opposed to the practice of
breeding litters for scienti-
fic laboratories as well as the
wholesaling of dogs to pet
shops.
