  1. About the A.K.C. American Kennel Club (AKC), national organization in the United States devoted to the advancement and welfare of pure-bred dogs. It is comprised of approximately 500 autonomous clubs. A delegate represents each club in the AKC's legislative body, which votes on the rules and regulations that govern dog shows and obedience and field trials. The AKC keeps a registry of recognized breeds (it registered over 900,000 dogs in 2003), and records the ancestry of registered pure-bred dogs in its stud book. It also provides educational materials for dog owners and sponsors rescue groups for each breed. There are, as of October 2004, 157 breeds recognized by the A.K.C. and 51 rare breeds that can be registered in its Foundation Stock Service (F.S.S.). There are also 4 breeds currently that have advanced from F.S.S. status, but are not yet fully recognized. There are 7 A.K.C. recognized groups: Non-Sporting Sporting Herding Hound Working Toy Terrier The basic purpose of dog shows is to facilitate the evaluation of breeding stock for use in producing the next generations. The Westminster Kennel Club Dog show (established in 1876), is America's second longest continuously held sporting event, behind only the Kentucky Derby.
