Huskies' show

Attention, dog owners! The American Kennel Club Global Service's 1st China National Husky Specialty will be held on October 15-16 at the Beijing Jiangrun Kennel Base and Pet Theme Resort in Tongzhou. According to June Gu, manager, more than 100 huskies have already applied to participate. Two certified judges from the US will be present to decide the winners. The Base welcomes all dog owners to attend and entry is free.

Set up in September 2007, the Jiangrun Kennel Base was originally built by a group of pet owners as a shelter for their dogs. But later they decided to expand it as both a breeding place for pedigree dogs and a resort for dogs and their owners. The Base has imported breeds such as the Welsh Corgi (Pemb) and golden retrievers. Their offspring have bagged many of the highest honors at national competitions.
