The Coulee Kennel Club is a non-profit organization founded in 1955, located in the Coulee Region of the Midwest. The term "coulee" reflects the unique beauty of the area with its deep river valleys and rolling hillsides along the Mississippi River. The club brings together dog enthusiasts from Southeastern Minnesota, Southwestern Wisconsin, and Northeastern Iowa who share a common bond: they enjoy their dogs and the people connected with them. Members meet monthly to discuss club affairs, debrief on past events, plan future activities, and participate in educational programs on a variety of topics.
