WELCOME TO FRASER VALLEY DOG FANCIERS

We are one of the oldest active dog clubs in the Lower Mainland/Fraser Valley region of British Columbia.   We have held annual events since our formation in the early 1970’s.

Events


Our Passion

Our annual conformation shows and obedience trials are held over Thanksgiving weekend and draw a large number of exhibitors from across Canada and the United States.  In addition to the 4 days of all breed shows, there are a number of local, regional and national specialty clubs that hold events in conjunction with our shows.



In memoriam

Fraser Valley Dog Fanciers mourns the loss of our good friend Beth Hilborn, who originally created this website. Rest in Peace Beth.
