This is the web site for the Kennel Club of Anne Arundel, Maryland.
The site is maintained by the Webmaster.
If you find any missing or broken links
or any incorrect information on the web site please let me know.
Member's names, phone numbers and email addresses are stored on the KCAA server in a "bot-proof" encrypted format.
They are only decrypted to real phone numbers and email addresses at the instant you load the membership roster web page.
This way, our list is immune to web crawlers and the like that are constantly seeking to add to their SPAM lists.
If you are a committee member or volunteer needing to receive email from the KCAA web and do not want your personal email address posted on this web site,
just contact the Webmaster and I will set you up with a KCAA address.
There are two different types of KCAA email and you can have whichever works best for you:
1. Email sent to your KCAA address automatically gets forwarded to your normal/personal email. The sender does not get to see your personal email address unless you reply to them.
2. A full KCAA email mailbox which is completely independent of your personal email. You will be given directions how to access it through a webmail system.
As a note, email addresses published on this website are maintained on the server in a bot-unfriendly format,
helping to prevent them getting found by SPAM bots.
This website includes links to websites that are external to the KCAA web site.
These links are provided on this web site for your convenience only.
These external web links are beyond the control of KCAA and we are not responsible for their content.
KCAA does not endorse any businesses, contacts, services or products linked from this web site,
and you use the links at your own risk.
Third party links can change. Therefore, if you find a link that does not work, or the third party web site has material that is offensive or contrary to the ideals of KCAA, please let the Webmaster know - thank you.
KCAA first went online in August 2009 as www.KCAA-MD.com. At that time we had a simple HTML-based web site
that provided information to our members.
As time passed, the incidence of SPAM and hacking became worse, and so, from about 2014,
the web became more heavily coded to reduce the effectivenes of crawler bots. Critical data
are now stored on the
host servers in an encrypted format, and as a consequence the incidence of SPAM has
gone down significantly.
The website now relies heavily on HTML, php and javascript, and to a lesser extent
on other technologies.
During the rebuild and coding effort, we also introduced a number of resources.
These include announcements about dog food recalls, and a variety of tools to help
with show scheduling.
