Crocus Obedience & Kennel Club

Description

Crocus Obedience and Kennel Club (C.O.K.C.) began as Crocus Obedience Club, with the present name being acquired in 1970. The club was started by two couples: Joan and John Svenson, presently Life members; and Diane and Capt. Glen Numbers, getting together to train their dogs. As the captain was based at C.F.B. Shilo, the first classes were held in the Sports Palace building on the base, and a registrant in that very first class was the Base Commander, Colonel Francis. They began in March of 1968 with 19 registrants, some of whom are still active in the dog fancy today. Due to the response from local dog owners, the club roster grew, and so did classes, with the addition of a Kindergarten Puppy Class in 1970.
