mORE ABOUT THE kHALEEJI kENNEL cLUB

Welcome to the Khaleej Kennel Club – the UAE’s pioneering community for every dog, pure-bred and mixed-breed alike.

Founded on the belief that every canine deserves the spotlight, Khaleej Kennel Club (KKC) is the first all-inclusive kennel club in the United Arab Emirates. Our mission is simple yet ambitious:

  • Celebrate diversity in the ring – Whether a pedigreed champion or a lovable blend of breeds, every dog is invited to strut its stuff at our professionally managed shows.

  • Raise the standard of canine sport across the nation – In partnership with DogAgility.ae, the UAE’s leading agility-sport organiser, we deliver world-class competitions that test athleticism, obedience and the unique bond between handler and hound.

  • Build family-friendly events – From junior-handler classes to “best rescue” parades, our shows are designed as day-out festivals where children, parents and pets learn, play and compete together.

  • Expand the culture of responsible ownership across the GCC – By setting clear show rules, promoting health testing and offering training workshops, KKC aims to spark a ripple effect that elevates canine welfare well beyond the UAE’s borders.

Generously powered by UK Solar, our sustainable-energy sponsor, every KKC event is staged with an eye on a cleaner, greener future—proof that dog sport and environmental stewardship can go hand-in-paw.

From Dubai’s gleaming arenas to Abu Dhabi’s beachfront parks—and soon across the wider Gulf—Khaleej Kennel Club invites you to join a forward-thinking movement where every dog, every background and every family has a place in the spotlight.

ADOPT DON'T SHOP SHOWCASE

At Khaleeji Kennel Club, every show doubles as an “Adopt, Don’t Shop” showcase: rescue organizations host adoption corners, recently-rehomed dogs compete in dedicated “Second-Chance” classes, and our ring announcers highlight success stories that prove a shelter pup can shine as brightly as any pedigree.

 

eXTRA FUN FOR JUNIORS

Beyond the judging table, we pack each venue with agility try-outs, trick-training clinics, junior-handler workshops and canine-care demos so the whole family stays engaged—no endless sitting around for kids.

Young handlers can even enter the same dog in a special youth class, giving them their own moment in the spotlight while reinforcing safe, supervised interaction.

By blending sport, learning, and adoption advocacy in a single, vibrant space, Khaleeji Kennel Club transforms the traditional dog show into a welcoming community festival where responsible ownership, socialization, and pure fun come together.
