History of the Tonkinese Breed Council
The first Tonkinese Breed Council was formed in 1978 when CFA approved Tonkinese registration. The Secretary was Joan Bernstein with members Madelyn Dakin, Judith Penna, Mary Swanson, Lynn Whitfield, Barbara Boren, Debbie Pensa, Norma Roy, Hope Tremblay in October of 1979. Late in 1980, the Breed Council members were not allowed to renew due to a CFA 1979 rule requiring a breed be in provisional class to have a BC. Tonkinese were not yet in Provisional class. In 1982 after the Tonkinese were moved to Provisional class, the BC was started again with the Norma Roy as the Secretary.
