The American Kennel Club (or AKC) is the largest registry of purebred dog pedigrees in the United States.
Beyond maintaining its pedigree registry, it also promotes events for purebred dogs, including the prestigious Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show, an annual event which predates the official forming of the AKC, and the AKC/Eukanuba National Championship.
The AKC is not the only registry of purebred dogs, but it is the one with which most Americans are familiar.
