About Us
The passion behind the Hmong Bobtail Club of America comes from these amazing individuals who are dedicated to protecting and preserving the Hmong Bobtails and their integration into the US. Meet the Board of Directors below!
Kira Hoang
President
Kira’s love for the Vietnamese breed started in 2015 when her late husband introduced her to Phu Quoc Ridgebacks. In 2023, she traveled to Vietnam to take the largest DNA sampling of all Viet breeds for Wisdom Panel and Embark, taking 115 samples. While sampling the breeds in Bac Ha, where a large Hmong population had Bac Ha dogs and Hmong Bobtails, she was able to experience what the other breeds were like. Their friendly nature and cute appearance quickly had a grip on her heart. She was given her first pair by a renowned breeder in Vietnam, in hopes to gain experience of the breed to share them with the world.

Anny Yang
Treasurer
Anny is a Hmong-American living in the Pacific Norwest who is passionate about working with primitive dogs and preserving her cultural breed. She aspires to promote the Hmong Bobtails using her skills in Graphic Design, Social Media, and Photography/Videography to educate and share the beauty of this wonderful breed. Her first Hmong Bobtail is a Vietnam import female named Hua (meaning Cloud in Hmong), who has quickly become a great breed ambassador due to her calm and gentle nature. Anny hopes to share her heritage breed through education and ethical breeding, ensuring the Hmong Bobtail can thrive for generations to come.

Rainna McHan
Secretary
Rainna McHan is an animal science major in Pennsylvania, who only owned a Phu Quoc Ridgeback before welcoming another dog. They are dedicated hikers, participants in coursing sports, dock diving, and now beginning scent work, rally and weight pull training. After the hard search that lead her to find the breed, she quickly became enamored with their loyalty, bravery, goofiness, protective nature and neutral temperament. In October 2023, she embarked on her first journey to Northern Vietnam in order to learn and experience the breed’s culture and native land, connecting with them deeply on an emotional level. After learning about them from breed experts, VKA judges, members of their culture and other Hmong Bobtail enthusiasts, it fully convinced her that Hmong Bobtails are her heart breed. She was trusted by an acclaimed breeder with importing one of his males, responsibly representing and preserving this precious breed in America. Her goal is to do just that, gain more knowledge and hands-on experience with this breed so she can show the world how incredible they are.
