A little Club History

The Olean Kennel Club originated in 1923. It was based in the Hornell area and called the "Enchanted Mountain Kennel Club". As the membership started to include more people from the Olean area, and less from Hornell, it was decided to hold the meetings in Olean.  A few years later the club members decided to change the name to the
 "Olean Kennel Club" and to include the 
 "Enchanted Mountains"
 in the new club logo.

In 1975 the club held its first A.K.C. Conformation Show at Bradner Stadium in Olean. At that time, clubs were just starting to form cluster shows. The O.K.C. held one more show at the Stadium and then moved to Alexander N.Y. as part of a three day cluster. The spring show continued there for many years. 

The O.K.C. meets  at 7:30 PM., the third Tuesday of each month.
  Visitors are always welcome.
