Club History

 

 

 

The Centennial Chinese Shar-Pei Club was established back in the early 1980's. The founding people that got our club started were Herb and Joan Franson, Mike and Jocelyn Barker, Jim and Karen Tobin and Diana Rousseau. They all came together to form the club and hold shows through their connection with the Rocky Mountain Rare Breed Dog Club. The Rocky Mountain Rare Breed Dog Club was active in holding rare breed shows. Our club would hold a specialty in conjunction with the rare breed shows in order to make a full show weekend. For several years all of the members of the Centennial Club were also members of the Rocky Mountain Rare Breed Dog Club. Together they published a joint newsletter.

 

We became a CSPCA Affiliated club in 1983. Joan Franson and Diana Rousseau did all the paperwork to make this happen. Later on in the 1990's, we became an AKC licensed club. We are licensed to hold both Specialty Shows and Obedience Trials. We are one of the few remaining Chinese Shar-Pei clubs that are licensed to hold Obedience Trials.

 

In the late 1980's many local Shar-Pei clubs were coming up with logos to identify their club. Our club was no different. One of the club members, Eric Calvin, was quite the artist, and took on the job to design a logo for us. In 1986 or 1987, he came up with our current logo that we still use today. The logo can be found on our home page.
