Raad van Beheer op Kynologisch Gebied in Nederland (English: Dutch Kennel Club (DKC)) is the official kennel club of the Netherlands.

[2] In 1902 it was decided to set up a new organisation, the Raad van Beheer op Kynologisch Gebied in Nederland, to consolidate the dog registration and pedigree systems, and regulate showing and field trials.

[2] The Raad van Beheer joined the Fédération Cynologique Internationale (FCI) at its inaugural meeting in Paris, 1911, and hosted its first conference in Amsterdam in 1912.

[2] At the beginning of the year 2000, the Raad van Beheer abandoned the structure of a society with an elected board of directors, in favour of a union of breed clubs and local groups.

Following inspection, health certificates are issued to dogs in order to aid in determining suitability for breeding.
