JKC sets the Stage for an unforgettable Dog Show extravaganza with a symphony of barks, wagging tails, and glittering eyes that speak volumes about the bond shared between man and his four-legged confidante. Dog, man’s best friend – had not received the attention and care it deserved in the Eastern part of India, particularly in Bihar prior to April 1977. This was due to absence of any association or club of Dog lovers.
To overcome this, it was thought way back in 1977 to form a Kennel club at Jamshedpur, affiliated to the Kennel Club India Chennai. The idea was to strive to promote the state of canine world by arranging scientific breeding, training, dog show and trial, registration of dogs, expert veterinary advice etc. This was discussed with several dog lovers in Jamshedpur and finally Bihar Kennel club was born on April 7, 1977.
