Message from the President of the KDCA:
On behalf of our club's board of directors, I am very pleased to announce that the United Kennel Club has officially approved our club's request for approval as their National Parent Breed Association for the Kangal Dog Breed. As many of you know, the process for approval has taken a very long time and has been achieved by hard work and input from board and club members both past and present.
I would like to thank everyone who has volunteered their time and talents to make this happen.
Best wishes,
Cedric Giraud
President
