AMERICAN KENNEL CLUB AND MOTEL 6 OFFER
COST-SAVING DISCOUNTS TO AKC REGISTERED DOG OWNERS
NEW YORK - The American Kennel Club (AKCŪ), a not-for-profit organization which maintains the largest registry of purebred dogs in the world, today announced a special agreement with Motel 6 and Studio 6 to offer all AKC registered dog owners a 10% discount on room reservations nationwide.
To reserve a room and activate the discount, all AKC registrants can log on to www.motel6.com and enter access code CP542764 for Motel 6 or visit www.staystudio6.com and enter the access code CP542765 for Studio 6 reservations.
"We are pleased to work with Motel 6 to offer AKC registered dog owners discounts during these tough economic times," said Dennis Sprung, President/CEO, AKC. "Last year alone, the AKC sanctioned more than 20,000 events that drew more than three million entries. These added savings will help AKC registrants find a comfortable place to rest with their dogs on their way to and from competitive events or while they are traveling on vacation."
"The AKC is the premiere organization that oversees the sport of purebred dogs in the United States," said Olivier Poirot, CEO for Accor North America, Motel 6 and Studio 6. "Motel 6 has been pet friendly since 1962, and we're happy to offer AKC registered dogs and their owners even more savings on our more than 1,000 properties across the United States and Canada."
