Svenska Kennelklubben (SKK) was formed in 1889[1] by a group of noblemen and hunters with the aim to maintain the capability of good huntingdogs. Today, the majority of SKK's over 300 000 members are ordinary dog owners, individuals who have a dog for pleasure. Although many breeders, hunters and people who work with dogs in various ways are also members of SKK.
