About the Club

The Tullahoma Kennel Club of Tennessee, Inc. (TKC), licensed by the American Kennel Club, was formed in 1986 to promote responsible dog ownership and interest in the sport of purebred dogs in the Tullahoma area. Since that time, the club has instituted many programs of benefit to the local community and of interest to all dog lovers.

TKC offers conformation handling and obedience training classes and sponsors two dog shows and obedience trials each year. TKC is involved in community service such as providing bullet- and stab-proof vests to local police dogs through the Vest-A-Dog Program, taking Therapy Dogs on visits to local nursing homes, conducting the Pet Show at the Coffee County Fair each year, certifying dogs to AKC's Canine Good Citizen program, and making Public Education presentations to local schools, churches, and other civic organizations.
