Club Membership

Sign up your Breed Club as an AKC Museum of the Dog Member

AKC All Breed Clubs, Parent Clubs and Regional Clubs play a vital role in preserving and promoting purebred dogs, fostering community, and growing our sport nationwide. By becoming a Club Member of the AKC Museum of the Dog, your organization can further this shared mission while supporting the Museum’s one-of-a-kind collection and programs.

As a Museum Member, your Club and its members will receive exclusive benefits, including free admission, access to digital programs through Virtual+ Memberships, private tours, opportunities to showcase your breed, special events, and more.

All Membership contributions are partially tax-deductible, with deductions calculated based on the estimated value of goods and services received.

Ready to join or have questions? The AKC MoD would be happy to help tailor a Membership program to help meet each Breed or All Breed club’s needs. Email membership@museumofthedog.org for more information.
