VIJA KLUCNIECE

My biggest dream in the childhood was – to become an owner of a dog. In 1967 I had my first white Giant Spitz Chico, who left me at the age of 15. Since 1981. I bred Klein Spitzes, uptill now in some pedigrees of our dogs I can find the rootes from my black bitch Wensy. But my biggest love is Chow Chow. This breed was not present in performed USSR and when I had got my black male from Poland in 1988. it was the first imported Chow Chow in Latvia. Nowdays  I have Papillons, it was the destiny which takes this breed in my home and during last 8 years I enjoy my dogs and this breed at all. I bred some champions and international champions,but I am not very big breeder, because I have a lot of duties in our Latvian Cynology Federation. From 1982 till 1990. I was the president of the Toy Breeds Club, from 1996. I had been elected and reelected as the president of Latvian Cynology Federation, I am the member of the Board in the Animal Protection Group. I had participated in all working groups arranged by the Ministry of Agriculture in Latvia about legislation for animals. As a judge  I judged in Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, Sweden, Finland, Danmark, Norway, France, Luxembourg, Belgium, Germany, Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, Italy, Moldova, Bulgaria, Romania,Belaruss, Russia, Ukraine,Hungary, Norway, Poland, Slovenia, Slovakia, Czech Republik, Croatia, Australia, Mexico ,India, China, Brasil  and everywhere I found beautifull dogs and exellent breeders. I had the great honour to judge in many section and World Shows. Fluent in Latvian, English, Russian could understand Polish, Czech and German.
