Västra Kennelklubben is located in the county of Bohuslän and the city of Gothenburg, at the Swedish west coast, and it is one of the biggest local Kennel Clubs in Sweden. Västra Kennelklubben is hosting one major dog show every year, the MyDOG-show, wich is a 4 days show held in January, this in the town of Gothenburg at the Swedish Fair.

The Swedish Kennel Club is a union of non-profit clubs. Geographically, the Club is divided into 25 county clubs, and each county club is responsible for membership care in its own county. We also have 35 special clubs, who are responsible for one breed or several breeds each. The central organisation has a chancellery with about 60 employees, who administrate the club's business. All decisions are made by about 20 central committees/working groups. The Swedish Kennel Club is governed by democratic decisions at all levels. The final decisions are made by Kennelfullmäktige, who assembles once every second year. All member clubs send delegates to Kennelfullmäktige. During the period between the KF assemblies, the Central Committee is responsible for running the club.The Swedish Kennel Club was founded in 1889, has about 300 000 members today, and is referred to for considerations in dog matters.
