Basic Principles in a
Dog Lovers Club
There are lots of dog
lovers clubs in the US that
offer a lot more for both
the dog lovers and their
dogs. Here are some of
them.
The American Kennel Club
has a dog lovers sections
called For the Love of the
Purebred Dog. This article
is more than a canine
purebred section. It is
dedicated to living at home
with dogs. This dog club
gives informative and
educational materials
pertaining to pet care,
training, nutrition and a
lot more. It also includes
funny stories, art, pet
history and the more
popular Companion Animal
Recovery method. There are
also more popular sites
like the dog breeds and
events page.
The American Mixed Breed
Obedience Registration or
(AMBOR) on the other hand
was created in 1983 with
the objective of taking
into accounts the
perseverance and accolades
in obedience contests of
mix breed dogs and
handlers. This dog lovers
club also gives support and
inspiration to dog
handlers.
Important Information
for Members:

membership is open to
handlers and owners of
mixed-breed dogs as long as
the pet is spayed and nails
are cut. There should be
front and side photo shots
of the dog that will be
included in the
application. This is the
ticket to all the obedience
and agility programs,

agility and obedience

This also includes a given
eligibility for the annual
awards.
This achievement will be

newsletter) and on the
website. The member will be
eligible to any agility and
obedience national
competition in the future.

2. Purebreds
Purebred dogs can be
listed with AMBOR with a
rule that entry is limited
to the AMBOR-supported
agility program. All dogs
that are purebred, listed
with AMBOR and exhibits
AMBOR-supported programs on
agility will have
competition points
monitored and there will be
an automatic issuance of
certificates.
Dogs that are purebred
and listed with AMBOR are
not qualified to be a part
of the agility and
obedience scoring systems.
They will also not be
included in the website on
highlights and not
