The object of the Kennel Club is to promote, in every way possible, the general improvement of dogs. The club has a long history, dating back to the time in 1870 when the National Dog Club Committee was formed and a discussion ensued which resulted in twelve gentlemen founding the Kennel Club.
The number of those involved in the government of the dog world in this country has increased tremendously and The Kennel Club is now concerned with aspects of general canine matters which could not have been foreseen in the 1870s, when the conduct of dog shows and trials was the sole consideration. The first Crufts show in that name was booked into the Royal Agricultural Hall, Islington in 1891, named after its founder, Charles Cruft.
Sponsorship opportunities are available via high profile canine events such as Crufts itself (which saw a gate of 120,000 visitors and 22,000 dogs in 2004), Discover Dogs (November 2004, promising a 21,000 audience with a south east bias), Young Kennel Club and the Good Citizen Dog Scheme. Further information on events can be gained via the Kennel Club website.
