Who We Are
We are a 4-H club in Montgomery County Maryland for youth who have interests in 4-H and dogs. Our members learn leadership skills and learn about all aspects of dogs including the opportunity to train a dog, if interested. We are a busy club and we provide the youth with many venues to share their talents or grow in good character and leadership.
