Welcome,

Two Cities Kennel Club History

The club was formed in the early 1950's and was originally called Twin Cities Kennel Club. However, the name was changed to Two Cities Kennel Club after a complaint from the Minneapolis-St. Paul area. Meetings were held at the Marysville Pet Store on 5th Street in Marysville owned by Veta Garrow, one of the founding members.

Our first show was held in 1952 and the first Best-in-Show winner was a red Doberman pinscher named “Max the Red.”

TCKC eventually partnered with two other clubs to host dog shows in June (in Gridley, California) and October (in Yuba City, California) with each club’s show held on a separate day. In 2001, TCKC started hosting two back-to-back shows in October while the other two clubs hosted their shows in June.

In 2025, we are going back to our 2-show format on May 10-11 at the Yuba-Sutter Fairgrounds in Yuba City, CA. We will offer NOHS, lots of supported entries over the weekend, and Best Brood Bitch on Saturday in honor of Mother's Day! There will be an Eye Clinic as well as ICSB and Sirius Canine! We will also have our raffle and used book sale! We will have all-breed Obedience and Rally indoors as well as a few specialties on Friday, 5/9/25.
