Augusta Kennel Club website recognized in Fall 2007 AKC's Website Spotlight!

Four times a year, AKC's “Website Spotlight” is dedicated to highlighting exceptional club websites. Here's what they say about our site:

Augusta Kennel Club’s attractive, easy-to-navigate website is unique in that it serves its club members and potential pet-owners equally well. Potential newcomers and club members can easily find the time and location of the next meeting in the “Upcoming Events” section, which also lists social events, matches, seminars and shows in the area. A map is even included in the “Membership” section for those needing directions.

One of the most valuable resources that they offer on the website, however, is in the “Breed Information” section. Included at the top of the page is a link to “Are you ready for a dog?,” which leads to a page with information about the cost and responsibility of a new puppy as well as series of questions to consider before bringing a dog into the family. Links to information about puppies, picking a breeder and rescue follow.

There is also a helpful Frequently Asked Questions section that addresses where to find a particular breed, designer breeds and the best place to buy a pup. Writing a FAQ section for your own website may cut down on the volume of phone calls your club receives. A variety of breed and rescue contacts for the Augusta area are also listed. For those breeds without contacts listed, a general number is available to call.

For members, a section is available to submit their dog photos and brags from many different competition venues. They can also update themselves on club news with the regularly-added newsletters. Augusta KC also offers some great links of interest, from dog treats and supplies to training, boarding, and food suppliers.

Thanks AKC for recognizing our site!
