Hangtown
Kennel Club is an AKC-licensed All-Breed Dog Club located in Placerville,
California, USA. Placerville is located on the western slope of the Sierra
Nevada, and is one of the original towns that sprung up during the Gold Rush.
Our club's name refers to one of Placerville's original place names, "Old
Hangtown."
Our members come from all walks of life and represent a wide variety of breeds. Many club members are actively involved in AKC competition events such as conformation, obedience, hunting test, and agility trials, spending their weekends at events throughout the USA. Other members have their faithful dog at home and belong to the club to learn more about dogs and for the camaraderie among our members.
We hold two AKC All-Breed Dog Shows each year during the last weekend in May (Memorial Day) and two AKC Agility Trials during the third weekend in July. In addition, we hold a yearly AKC "B" level match each December, and year-round obedience classes. We also participate in many community activities throughout the year, including visits to local nursing homes with our dogs, breed and obedience demonstrations at local events, and public education seminars.
