The American Belgian Malinois Club is the national parent club for the Belgian Malinois affiliated with the American Kennel Club. The Club is governed by a Board of Officers & Directors and a Constitution & By-Laws. A number of Committees coordinate the various activities of the club.
The ABMC is a relatively young club with general membership starting in 1978 and becoming a member club of the American Kennel Club in 1993. We are working to improve the programs and events that we sponsor. The members are all volunteers, and we love to see new faces at sponsored events.
Annually we have a National Specialty show that is usually held in the spring. Our first independent National Specialty was held in Texas in March 1998.
The club’s objectives: to protect and promote the interests of the breed through the encouragement of good sportsmanship and camaraderie and to promote activities aimed at improving all aspects of the breed.
