The KJAA board voted in the May meeting to add a new membership option. 

Family Outreach Membership is open to two persons eighteen (18) years of age or older who reside in the same household and their minor children who are interested in the breed, in further advancing their knowledge of dogs and dog sports, and subscribe to the purposes of KJAA.  This type of membership pays full dues and offers all KJAA benefits and participation.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, Family Outreach Members may not vote.  $25


The By-Laws will be revised to reflect this new membership option.

On April 29, 2023 a new AKC Certificate of Merit was earned in Lumberton, North Carolina.*

YooShin kennels is planning a breeding of HoSoon with a male stud dog named DaeBak who is owned by the active show kennel Noryeong Sanmaek in South Korea. The breeding is expected in late June. If all goes well, the puppies will be born in late August and will go to their homes at 8 weeks of age at the earliest.

DaeBak was chosen for his very nice head type, his unrelated bloodlines, and what he has produced in his offsprings in Korea. Pups are expected to be either red or brindle, with a small chance of white.

If interested in this litter, please fill out the online application at yooshinkennels.com.  Preference will be given to homes who are willing to participate in a breeding program as this may be HoSoon's one and only litter.

This upcoming litter is only the 2nd litter in the United States that come from registered, titled, and health-tested parents.  The last litter from registered, titled, and health-tested parents was in 2014.

Puppies are expected in early June.  Pregnancy has been confirmed via ultrasound.

Depending on the eventual sex of puppies,  there may be a few spots on the waiting list for companion homes.  

Priority, though, are for individuals interested in being involved in the breed (be it showing, lure coursing, barn hunt, taking part in agility, rally, obedience, or educating others through meet the breed events).
