Lana Tsan, China Kennel Club VP
I retired from the show ring in 1992 and formed The Chinese Pet Association with the idea that the person behind the dog should be remembered as well as their winners. Then, in late 1998, the China Kennel Club (GD) was formed in which I have been made Vice President.
I am currently North America Working Dog Association Ltd (Far East) business representative. I am also Vice President of the Quandong (Canton) Millennium Show with the China Kennel Club.
China will be taking over Hong Kong eventually and China having laws that banned dogs from all city, it will be a disaster for many dogs and we work to prevent that. I serve as Vice President of Small Animal Veterinary Association as we make progress in owner education. I am also Hon. Chairperson for Association of Small Animal Protection and serve as Consultant for PET Zone Magazine and the China Cat Association (Beijing).
Our dog Olympic is 2001 Shenyang show that comes after big show in Beijing (Capitol of the People's Republic of China and I am coordinator for both and consultant also for Qwai Yueng Kennel Club.
Editor's Note: Lana contacted Video Express Canine Productions company in the early 90s. She bought every dog show and breed information video we produced. This is WHO Lana was - the consummate dog lover and one of the most knowledgeable people it has been my honor to call friend.
Lana Tsan was excited about creation of TheDogPlace.org in 1998. Because of her personal friendship with China's President Jiang Zemin, the world's first-ever website was also the first American website to which the people of China had access.
Cultures may differ but we all speak the same language when it comes to dogs.
BJ Andrews postnote: This was written in early 2002. Lana Tsan was a close personal friend who continued to educate dog owners until shortly before her death in 2011. We are all grateful for her wisdom and teachings. NetPlaces Network EST 1998 © Feb 2002 rev21112403 https://www.netplacesnetwork.com/SAAB/Lana-Tsan-Bio-022.asp
