History

The founding members of the Western Washington Hound Association - Bill and Lorraine Russell and Cathy and Larry Sorensen among others - created vibrant venues for the varied and unique breeds within the Hound group. 

Our first show, held August 2nd, 1998, at Fort Dent Park in Tukwila, Washington had entries that were out of this world! We had over 480 entries in regular classes, 150 in sweepstakes and 23 in obedience - putting us way beyond even our wildest ambitions!

Over the years, we have sponsored varied events including: lure coursing, CAT trials, earth dog training, and agility trials in several locations across the Northwest.  We have supported animal shelters through donations of pet foods and supplies, sponsored an AKC Disaster Relief Trailer based in Seattle, and assisted with rescue of hounds of all breeds.

In 2018, we celebrated our 20th Anniversary, and we are onward to our 25th in just a couple of years!
