About us

I fell in love with the breed in the ’90 and i got my first Chow in 2000. I started to breed Chow-Chows in 2006 in Novigrad-Istria (Croatia) and I registered my kennel under the affix „Shen Te Chows“ FCI 5523. I am an active cynologist since 2006, a member of HKS at first then a member of KSRS and for years a member of different Chow Chow breed clubs.

Since then I bred many Champions, International Champions, Clubwinners, Cruft’s winners, World and European Winners.

Another great love since I was a child are Dachshunds so since 2018 besides Chows we have also Dachshunds (Miniature and Rabbit; Smooth-Haired and Wire-Haired), Rottweilers and French Bulldogs; we actively breed them under the kennel name „Suny Day’s“ and show them all around Europe with great results.

I am an International FCI judge for group II, IV, V and VIII (all breeds).

My first judging was in 2013, since then I have been judging in several countries at National and International Shows, Clubshows & Speciality Shows: Serbia, Italy, Croatia, Bosnia, Russia, Germany, Poland, Sweden, Norway, Belgium, Hungary, Slovakia, Denmark, Czech Republic, Indonesia, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania.

Breeding is an art, intuition, analytics, love and passion. Breeding starts with a vision, a dream and a dream dog in our minds. Our goal is the “complete” chow chow with exceptional temperament, structure, health and beauty…show dogs and companions. The “dream chow” that our kennel is working towards is represented in the best  lines being used and bred to be balanced and to enjoy a long life as a result.

I can mention a lot of our Chows as an example but it’s much easier to reach the achievements of each in a single page on our website (show records and health records as well). No need to say how proud we are of our home bred World Winners, Cruft’s and European Winners!!!
