The Huntington Kennel Club's annual Christmas party was a success, with about 20 members and guests sharing good food and laughter with friends. (If you weren't there, we missed you and you missed a good time!) The highlight of the evening was the Third Annual Stuffed Dog Show, under the auspices of PETSA (The Society for the Protection and Ethical Treatment of Stuffed Animals.) A The quality of exhibits was outstanding and competition for top honors was intense.

Three HKC members made up AKC champions in the year 2001 -- quite an accomplishment for such a small club! Championship Awards will be presented at the February meeting, Feb. 20, 2002, and announced on this site at that time. In addition,two HKC members were invitied to show their dogs at the AKC-Eukanuba Invitational Classic in Florida in December. Joshua, a Basset Hound owned by Board Member Slyvia Handlosser and Traveler, a Bulldog, owned by former-president Kyle Fisher were extended these special invitations. This is a significant honor, as only the top twenty dogs of each breed were eligible for competition. The show will be televised in January; date and time will be posted later.
The first meeting of 2002 will be January 16. If you have a serious interest in the promotion, exhibition and protection of AKC-registered purebred dogs, we invite you to visit.
