Sept AKC All-Breed Dog Show
Coming September 19-21, 2025! Each year, the West Volusia Kennel Club proudly hosts an AKC All-Breed Dog Show, a prestigious event that celebrates the excellence and diversity of purebred dogs. Held at the Volusia County Fairgrounds, this annual showcase introduces you to more than 1,000 purebred dogs representing more than 100 breeds, their handlers, and breeders from across the region.
AKC dog shows provide an opportunity to evaluate dogs against the breed standard, highlighting their structure, movement, and temperament. These events are more than just a competition—they promote responsible breeding practices, celebrate the bond between dogs and their owners, and educate the public about purebred dogs.
Whether you’re a seasoned exhibitor, interested in volunteering, or a curious spectator, we invite you to join us for this exciting event and experience the beauty and dedication of the dog show world!
Dog Sports
The West Volusia Kennel Club is proud to host several AKC FastCAT® events each year at Dog Sports Unlimited!
FastCAT is an exciting 100-yard dash where dogs can run at their fastest speed while chasing a lure, making it a fun and thrilling experience for both dogs and their owners. Learn more about this popular sport at AKC FastCAT.
This event is open to all breeds and mixed breeds (AKC, PAL, or Canine Partners registered), giving every dog a chance to showcase their speed and enthusiasm. Participants have the opportunity to meet WVKC members, learn about our club, and enjoy a day of camaraderie with fellow dog enthusiasts.
Whether you’re new to FastCAT or a seasoned participant, we’d love to see you and your dog on the track. To get involved, check out the DSU event calendar or contact us for more details on how to register for the next event.
Community Involvement
The West Volusia Kennel Club is proud to be an active participant in our community, hosting and joining a variety of events each year. From our summer club picnic to local community parades, we bring dog lovers together to celebrate the special bond between people and their pets. We also proudly participate in several FastCAT trials throughout the year, and AKC Meet the Breeds® events, where the public can interact with a variety of purebred dogs, learn about their unique traits, and gain insight into responsible dog ownership.
Additionally, our AKC Canine Ambassadors work with schools and youth groups to educate children about dog safety, proper care, and the responsibilities of dog ownership. These events are at the heart of WVKC’s mission to promote knowledge, appreciation, and responsible stewardship of dogs in our community.
We invite you to join us at one of these fun and educational events!
