Lady Arrives from Sweden
This photo is “Lady”, Lilla Enebys
Xip'Xperia, enjoying her toys after
her 12 hours of flying which she
handled like a pro! Lady was calm,
quiet and such a good girl to potty
in Sweden and Amsterdam while
waiting for the flights so her Sherpa bag was nice and clean when
we landed:-)
Congratulations to HRKC’s Vice President!

HRKC does not accept ads from businesses that sell live
Animals.
HRKC has a Rescue Referral only. We do not board rescued
dogs.
The Hurricane Ridge Kennel Club of
Washington (HRKC) supports reputable
breeders of purebred dogs and promotes
responsible pet ownership. We encourage all pet buyers to research the various
breeds to determine the one that is right
for their lifestyle. We encourage all pet
buyers to understand that there are inherited genetic traits in dogs that may impact
health, longevity and temperament. The
pet buyer should understand the financial
commitment associated with pet ownership.
If you are considering a cross-bred dog,
research the characteristics and health
issues of each breed and their ancestry.
Many unsuspecting pet buyers purchase
animals that inherit health problems from
both its sire and dam’s respective breeds.
Mixed breed dogs can now be registered
with the American Kennel Club (AKC) and,
, the AKC provides venues in HRKC
events to include mixed breed dogs to
compete and be titled in AKC performance
sports, e.g., agility and obedience.
Members are encouraged to do so as an individual project.
