A Dream Come True

Nathalie Bernard and I had dreamed of forming a parti Poodle
club for a long time and had discussed the matter for hours. Various
friends, who are as much in love with the parti-colored Poodle as we
are, had often joined the conversation. Finally, we have achieved
our objective. Yes! Our club was born – the first ever in France to
promote the parti Poodle.
I am very proud to announce the official creation of the Association
des Caniches Bicolores en France (the French Club of the Parti
Poodle in France). The Club was officially registered at the
Préfecture des Alpes-Maritimes (French state administration in the
south-east of France), on the 27th of June 2008. Mention of the club
was published in the Journal Officiel de la République Française on
the 12th of July 2008.
The purpose of the Club is to promote and protect the parti Poodle’s
characteristics, to introduce the parti-colored Poodle to and into
France, and to draw together everyone, present and future, who loves
this breed. By forming this club, which is officially recognized by
the French administration, we become stronger and gain credibility.
We will be able to achieve wider and larger possibilities of action
with a deeper impact.
Our journey has just begun, and we know that it will be a long and
winding road. Our strength is our conviction, our hopes, and our
will to lead the battle for the recognition of the parti Poodle in
France. We have received support from countries such as the U.S.A.,
Canada, Germany, Hungary, and Russia. We are very happy to bring
France into this International movement, hoping that we too will
obtain the same recognition for the parti Poodle that the
solid color Poodle has from the FCI (Federation Cynologique
Internationale) and the national clubs around the world.
