• to urge members and breeders to accept the standard of the breed as approved by The American Kennel Club as the only standard of excellence by which Kerry Blue Terriers shall be judged and to educate current and prospective judges to that standard;
• to do all in its power to protect and advance the interests of the breed and to encourage sportsmanlike competition at dog shows where Kerry Blue Terriers compete; to conduct sanctioned matches, specialty shows, under the rules of the American Kennel Club, as well as educational symposia.
