The American Morkshire Terrier Club is proud to be designated an AKC FIT DOG CLUB. Members of AMTC already participate in other dog events annually and already promote health and wellness of all owners and their dogs and the partnership with the American Kennel Club will bring more health benefits to both you and your dog!
The most commonly recommended exercise to improve fitness is walking. Walking is considered a safe activity that improves muscular strength, circulation, help with sleep and several other overall health benefits. Coming this summer we will be promoting health and wellness for our owners, breeders and their dogs by hosting our first AMTC Fit Dog Walk. AMTC Fit Dog walks are for any age dog and no prior skills are required. Participants will have the opportunity of earning a free Fit Dog logo car magnet for participation in AMTC Fit Dog Walk and AMTC Members will have the opportunity to earn AMTC FIT Dog titles - AMTC Agility, AMTC Rally/Obedience and AMTC Fit Dog Walk (includes virtual titles). There will be 3 levels of AMTC titles: Bronze, Silver, and Gold. Each title will require a specific number of activity points to be completed, which vary based on title level. AMTC FIT Dog titles are noncompetitive, and dog owners may choose different activities to earn title(s). Information regarding this NEW event will be posted on the AMTC Event Calendar!
AMTC will be hosting several other events & venues, including IABCA & ARBA dog shows within the USA. These conformation events will be in compliance with the AMTC Breed Standard(s). AMTC members will be able to obtain independent evaluations from judges knowledgeable of our breed standards and other toy breed dogs. We are very pleased, and look forward to showing the American Morkshire Terrier in the show ring.
The American Morkshire Terrier Club sponsor events & shows to promote and showcase the American Morkshire Terrier and you will need to be a AMTC member to participate in a AMTC sponsored event for titles or points. Dogs which are not registered, must join AMTC within 90 days prior to entry. Day of show entries will not be accepted. Show Venues information.
