Hurricane Ridge Kennel Club
Welcome Dog Lovers!
🐾 Dogs. People. Community. 🐾
Whether you’re a devoted dog owner, a breeder, or simply someone who loves being around dogs—you’ve found your people!
Dog Sports
Serve Our Community
From agility and scent work to obedience, rally, and conformation, HRKC offers opportunities for dogs and their people to learn, compete, and have fun together.
Whether you're an experienced competitor or just getting started, there's something for everyone!
Learn and Connect
Our commitment to dogs extends beyond our own events. HRKC supports local K-9 units and dog-related nonprofits, provides educational opportunities, and invests in projects that benefit dogs and the people who care for them.
Our Pet Disaster Relief Trailer Initiative is one example of how we're working to keep pets safe and families together during emergencies.
You don’t have to compete in dog sports to belong to HRKC. Our meetings, educational programs, guest speakers, and community activities bring dog lovers together to learn, share experiences, and enjoy the company of people who love dogs as much as they do.
Come for the dogs. Stay for the friendships!
Our Mission
Advancing Canine Excellence
Nestled on the stunning Olympic Peninsula of Washington State, the Hurricane Ridge Kennel Club takes its name from one of the most breathtaking vistas in Olympic National Park. Founded in 1988 (originally as the Kennel Club of the Olympic Mountains), HRKC is an AKC-licensed, all-breed, non-profit organization dedicated to supporting and promoting responsible dog ownership and breeding. AKC performance events are open to dogs of all backgrounds.

Emergency Response
Disaster Vulnerability
When disaster strikes on the Olympic Peninsula, access to and from our community may be limited. In those critical moments, families are often faced with an impossible question: What happens to our pets?
Most emergency shelters do not accommodate animals—leaving pet owners with difficult and sometimes dangerous choices.
The Hurricane Ridge Kennel Club is taking action. We are raising funds to bring an AKC Pet Disaster Relief Trailer to Clallam County—providing essential resources to safely shelter displaced pets and service animals during emergencies.
The goal is to provide local emergency management with specialized trailers and equipment to help create safe environments for pets during disasters when people must evacuate.
Clallam County is particularly vulnerable to natural disasters such as flooding, landslides, storms and localized wildland fires. A major earthquake is our greatest threat. Pet disaster relief trailers would play a central role in mass evacuation.
Our goal is to raise $12,000 for one trailer. Donations of any amount are appreciated.
Together, we can protect the pets that depend on us.
