About

Who We Are

The Beaver County Kennel Club (BCKC) has been an active member of the Tri-State area’s canine community for over 75 years.  Established in 1948, BCKC has provided many services to dogs and their owners throughout the years, including classes, special events, and all-breed dog shows.  As a member club of The American Kennel Club (AKC), BCKC promotes the welfare and advancement of all dogs. We are also an active member of Pennsylvania Federation of Dog Clubs and The American Dog Owners Association.

Located in Rochester, PA, the BCKC clubhouse features off street parking, a temperature-controlled training room, a spacious meeting room, and a large dog yard with a bagging station.

Beyond the clubhouse, BCKC conducts other large-scale events, including Responsible Dog Ownership Day (RDOD) in Brady’s Run Park, and all-breed dog shows in Canfield, OH and Beaver Falls, PA. As a member of the Steel Valley Cluster, BCKC joins other all breed kennel clubs in conducting one of the largest AKC dog shows in the eastern United States, lasting five days in early August, and featuring conformation, obedience, and dock diving events.

The membership of BCKC is diverse, consisting of dog lovers from all walks of life. The club functions as an important resource for those with common interests in breeding, handling, judging, and teaching. The Board of Directors provide leadership to the club, while maintaining the commitment to uphold the missions of BCKC and the AKC.
