High Plains Kennel Club

High Plains Kennel Club High Plains Kennel Club is a non-profit, all-breed dog club dedicated to the love and care of purebred dogs, serving the Douglas County area.

High Plains Kennel Club (HPKC), in Douglas County Colorado, is an all-breed club licensed by the United Kennel Club (UKC). Our members are dedicated to information and education regarding purebred dogs. HPKC furthers sportsmanship and competition in conformation, obedience and rally events held under the rules and requirements of the UKC. We hold two UKC-sanctioned all-breed or multi-breed shows e

very year, in July and November, and matches in conjunction with other dog clubs. If you're interested in joining our club, please visit our website www.highplainskennelclub.org

We are involved in our communities by participating in Meet the Breed exhibitions; Bark in the Park held in Aurora, Colorado, each September; and club booths in conjunction with other community and local events. In addition, we work to educate the public, especially children, in all aspects of dog care and dog interaction. We have meetings once a month at the Castle Rock Library and over zoom! Please E-mail the Secretary (NO solicitations or advertising will be accepted at this email) for an updated meeting schedule. Occasionally meetings are cancelled or moved due to show conflicts, so please contact a club officer or board member to confirm that an upcoming meeting will be held. Not only do we conduct club business and discuss/plan upcoming events, we also enjoy the camaraderie of each other and our common love of dogs. Our Officers and Board Members

High Plains Kennel Club has lost a truly remarkable person, a highly respected judge, dedicated Australian Cattle Dog breeder, mentor, and business owner, Amy Turner. Amy passed away after a brief illness on March 24, 2026.

In her honor, HPKC has created a Memorial Plaque that will be awarded once each show weekend, beginning with the July 2026 show cluster. The plaque was presented privately to her partner prior to Amy's Celebration of Life on May 30 as HPKC's way of honoring her memory and lasting contributions to the dog community.

The plaque was displayed during her service among the many beautiful photographs and cherished memories that reflected a life well lived and the countless lives she touched.

Rest peacefully and pain-free, Amy. Your legacy will continue to inspire and guide us for years to come.
