We’re pleased to announce our 2024 JCCA National Specialty, which will be held this year in conjunction with the Pacific Northwest Japanese Chin Club’s Inaugural Specialties!

The festivities will begin with our Parade of Companions, Rescues & Titleholders on Wednesday, October 23, 2024, at 6 p.m. All Chin deserve their own moment to shine.

Our Top 20 Competition will follow the Parade. Entries are by invitation only. We welcome everyone to attend and cheer on these top-winning Chin, and each attendee can cast their vote for the People’s Choice Award. As always, our three mystery judges (revealed when the competition begins) will select our 2024 JCCA Top 20 Winner. What a great start to our celebration of Chin!

Our Parent Specialty will be held on Thursday, October 24, 2024. Our judges are:

  • Regular Classes, Junior Showmanship & 4-6 Mo. Beginner Puppies: Miki Cooney
  • Sweepstakes: Randy Gemmill

Our JCCA National Specialty will be held on Friday, October 25, 2024. Our judges are:

  • Regular Classes, Junior Showmanship & 4-6 Mo. Beginner Puppies: Scott Toney

Our Annual General Meeting and Awards Banquet & Auction will be held at our Host Hotel on Friday at 6 p.m. after our National. You can find our menu under Awards Banquet, and payment details can be found in our SHOP.

Please plan on bringing an auction item or two for our Auction after the Banquet. We plan to hold Live and Silent Auctions.

The PNW Japanese Chin Club Inaugural Specialties are being held on October 23 & 24. This gives you the opportunity to enter 4 specialties over 3 days! With 2 tail shows offered by the Vancouver Kennel Club on October 26 & 27, you can enter 6 shows in 5 days—6 opportunities for majors!

We look forward to a successful, fun, and fabulous National Specialty, and we’re excited about seeing all our members, old friends, new friends, and their Chin in the beautiful Pacific Northwest!
