WHO ARE WE?
We are an American Kennel Club (AKC) affiliated club located in Washington County, Maryland.
The home of MDKC is the Mason Dixon Hall at the Washington County Agricultural Education Center 7313 Sharpsburg Pike, Boonsboro, MD. This heated, air-conditioned building was constructed and donated to the Ag Center by the Mason and Dixon Kennel Club in 1995. We recently added non-slip rubber flooring to the building. We also have a large outdoor area totally fenced in for training. This home is the result of dedicated members working throughout the years toward a vision that is now a reality. We invite you to come and visit this wonderful facility.
WHAT ARE OUR OBJECTIVES?
- to further the advancement of all breeds of purebred dogs.
- to do all in its power to protect the interests of all purebred dogs and to encourage sportsmanlike competitions at any and all-American Kennel Club approved events.
- to conduct sanctioned and approved events under the rules of the American Kennel Club
- to foster and maintain among ourselves, a warm friendship and the highest sportsmanship.
