For the past 135 years, the American Kennel Club has worked to promote canine health and wellness, promote responsible dog ownership, and protect the rights of all dog owners. Not only does it provide a marketplace for dog lovers to find their next furry friend, it also offers information on every dog breed in existence, as well as insider tips. It’s basically an encyclopedia for everything dog related. Not to mention, their site is full of fun activities like sending “puppygrams” to your loved ones or nominating your own dog to be a part of the feel-good program.
