What We Do

Shows and Trials:

The Halifax Kennel Club (HKC) hosts two series of Conformation Shows & Obedience Trials yearly in February and September. The September series of shows often host Specialties & Boosters for National Clubs wishing to responsibly promote their breeds and educate the general public.

Our Drill Team:

In the early 1980's, the Halifax Kennel Club, under the direction of the late Michael McDonald, formed an Obedience Drill Team. Although the team was disbanded for a short time, it has been serving the community consistently since 1987.  Photos of the Drill Team can be found on our Photo Gallery link.

The Team provides pet visitation sessions after each performance and has also the distinction of being one of the longest running programs of its kind in Nova Scotia.
