Nationally
Affiliated with FCI and the ruling organization
in Sweden is
- 'Svenska Kennelklubben' / The Swedish Kennel Club (abbr. SKK).
The Swedish Boxer Club is recognized by SKK as the official
breed club for Boxers and thereby responsible for the breed in
the whole of Sweden. This through its membership in the special
clubfor all 'working'-breeds, namely,
- 'Svenska Brukshundklubben' / The Swedish Working Dog Association'
(abbr. SBK).
The Swedish Boxer Club is managed and led by a central club committee
(abbr. AS). Geographically however, the club is divided into 9
local club areas (abbr. LO). Jointly the LO's organize most of
the operational activities within The Swedish Boxer Club. Each
LO is led by a local club committee.
The Swedish Boxer Club currently has about 1.300 registered members
and 500-600 Boxers are annually registered with SKK.
