Klub chovateľov málopočetných plemien psov (KCHMPP)

Klub chovateľov málopočetných plemien psov (KCHMPP) is a specialized canine organization dedicated to the support, promotion, and professional management of rare dog breeds within Slovakia. Operating under the broader framework of the Únia kynologických klubov (Union of Cynological Clubs), the organization serves as a vital hub for breeders and enthusiasts committed to the preservation of unique canine lineages.

Core Mission and Activities

The primary mission of the KCHMPP is to foster a community of responsible breeders while ensuring the highest standards of canine welfare and breed integrity. The club actively manages the administrative needs of its members, including the facilitation of official breed standards and the implementation of modern digital tools. A significant recent milestone for the club is the integration of the online studbook (plemenná kniha), which allows members to access vital breeding data and pedigree information efficiently through the skjonline.sk platform.

Events and Breed Standards

The club is highly active in organizing professional events that showcase the quality and diversity of the breeds under its care. Key activities include:

• Exhibitions: The club organizes prestigious events, such as the upcoming Club Show (CAC) in Tlmače, providing a platform for breeders to have their dogs evaluated against official standards.
• Breed Standard Updates: The KCHMPP ensures that all members are kept informed of international changes to breed standards, such as the recent updates regarding the Pudel (Poodle) breed, ensuring that breeding practices remain compliant with current FCI regulations.
• Specialized Breed Focus: The organization supports a wide range of rare breeds, including specialized events like the 1st European Club Show for the Australian Cattle Dog (ACD).

Membership and Support

The KCHMPP relies on the dedication of its members and supporters to maintain its operations. Beyond breeding and exhibition activities, the club encourages financial support through mechanisms such as the allocation of 2% of income tax, which helps fund the club's ongoing initiatives and administrative infrastructure. By maintaining a transparent and organized environment, the KCHMPP continues to play a crucial role in the Slovakian cynological landscape, ensuring that rare and minority breeds receive the specialized attention and protection they require to thrive.
