Gary Thomas - Jonsville
On Saturday 23rd May, 2026 the dog world lost one of the kindest gentlemen in our sport. Gary was well known worldwide for Jonsville Pekingese, having bred many champions. Gary also owned, showed and bred Cavalier King Charles Spaniels, and he was also well known to us for his Jonsville Japanese Chin. He was a member of the club for many years.
Gary would always greet you with a warm, friendly smile and would often be seen at shows, if not showing his beloved Pekes, judging many of the toy breeds. He was a firm believer in giving back something to the sport that he loved, having served on many committees. He will be greatly missed by us all.
Rest in Peace, Gary
