The Canadian Cardigan Corgi Club was born in the 1970s in the kitchen of Charlie MacInnes and Fanny Edwards of Finnshavn & Markwell Cardigans. At first it was an informal social and educational group that met monthly when possible. The first president was Sue Bain. Subsequent presidents were: Fanny Edwards, Charlie MacInnes, Marilyn Boissonneault, Barb Hoffman and Shelley Camm, Fern Hunt, Marilyn again and Ron Stewart briefly. The current president (2005-2007) is Lore Bruder In the late 1970s, steps were taken to formalize the structure and obtain Canadian Kennel Club recognition. The club constitution was submitted to the Canadian Kennel Club in 1979, approved in 1981, and the club began working toward permission to hold specialty shows. Although their numbers remained small, the club members completed the requirements to hold specialty shows and the first Canadian national specialty for Cardigan Welsh Corgis was held at Fort Erie, Ontario on May 17, 1987, with an entry of 170. Since then specialties have been held annually in various regions of Canada. The 2000 specialty was an exceptional event in the town of Cardigan on Prince Edward Island. |
