The Chuandong Hound Club
Established in 2017 the main aim of the Club is to conserve the Chuandong Hound in type and form, using the China Kennel Union breed standard as a blueprint to work towards when breeding the coming generations.
The Club will support all enthusiasts of the breed by providing breed specific information, giving advice on responsible ownership and encouraging owners to use the breed’s characteristics in present day activities,
The Club’s Facebook page provides a place for families to post pictures of their Chuandong’s and share information they think would be helpful to other Chuandong Hound owners.
In May of 2023 Mr Franki Leung author of the China Kennel Union (CKU) breed standards, asked ‘The Chuandong Hound’ and ‘Chongqing Dog’ clubs if we could come together to establish the ‘Chinese Native Breeds Association’
The main focus of the Association is to run events giving people a chance to meet these unique breeds in the U.K. While bringing together owners and breeders that already have a passion for these special dogs, we can make the Association the platform to concentrate our efforts as we establish the breeds in the U.K.
Our first show [November 2023] was a great success attracting over 70 entries.
We are now making arrangements for our Second show
Date – Saturday 9th November 2024
Venue – Sports Connexion, Nr Coventry, CV8 3FL
Judge and speaker (TBA)
Once again we will be investing in a breed specialist from China, having previously judged our three Native breeds [including the Laizhou Hong] at Championship show level. He/She will have the experience to make a true comparison of our dogs to the breeds in their native China.
The Ethics, Constitution and Rules of The Chuandong Hound Club are in line with those established by the UK Kennel Club.
