Welcome
Welcome to the Khaleeji Kennel Club – the UAE’s pioneering community dedicated to organizing events and shows for our unique and beloved Khaleeji dog.
Our mission is to celebrate and promote this special mixed-desert breed while working toward the long-term goal of having the Khaleeji dog formally recognized as an official breed.
Founded on the belief that every canine deserves the spotlight, the Khaleeji Kennel Club (KKC) is the first all-inclusive kennel club in the United Arab Emirates dedicated to the Desert Dog mixed breed.
A Khaleeji Dog is a mixed Desert Dog: medium-sized, slender in build, with a wedge-shaped head and a naturally aloof character. Khaleeji dogs have short coats and come in a variety of colors, reflecting the diversity of their regional roots.
Generously supported by Rescue Pet Food and the Emirates Kennel Club, the KKC strives to bring together all Khaleeji dogs and their owners in a fun, competitive, and sustainable environment.
From Dubai’s gleaming arenas to Abu Dhabi’s beachfront parks—and soon across the wider Gulf—the Khaleeji Kennel Club invites you to join a forward-thinking movement where every dog, every background, and every family has a place in the spotlight.
We are proud to promote enjoyable competitions, community events, and memorable experiences for every dog.
