A presentation of Vittoria's kennel.

I bought my first papillon 1972 with the name Creoles Luffe Lurifax, a cute little guy but unfortunately he had only one testicle, so it became a companion and it was probably meant as well. When visiting the breeder (Liisa Lankio) a year later there was a bitch who did go with me, and then everything was going.
This bitch Vicki (Opus VI Vittoria di Creole) was mated twice, the first litter was 7 puppies and the next litter 5 puppies. It was time for the kennel name, and it seemed quite natural to take parts of her name, hence the name Vittoria's kennel.
   Exhibition interest was started in 1988 when the "big star" Cillahof 's á La Carte "Kickan", came to us. An amazing experience to take this bitch. I do not think the breeder in his wildest imagination could discard the notion that it would become such a star, she won the exhibitions at the age of 15.
The biggest to win was probably Veterans of Veterans of the Grand Hotel in 2000 on Easter Saturday. Kickan pased away, 17 years and 1 month old. Very much missed.
Such a victory is hard to believe they have experienced, and also she was the first papillon who won this. So we have her son, Vittoria's Kiss of Fire "Kurtan" who came into the world to crash, and stirred the phaléneworld really well. The absolute funniest victory with him was in 1991 in Borås, where he was Best in Show-puppy, very unexpected, because it is very rare that Phaléne wins, he was probably the first, it was a great feeling. His career has also been a dream, he had more than 200 BOB, and in 2002 he has been 2xBIS-2 and 2xBIS-3 veteran. He has been the top-placed every year since he began to be exhibited. He has also been qualified to the Grand Hotel, Veteran of Veterans 2004 (the very first Phalene) Kurtan pased away 15 ½ years after he is missing very much.
He also had siblings who had an illustrious career, Ch Kaskad (papillon), SUCH INTUCH SV-99-Mon Amie (Phaléne), Ch Matisse (papillon). Mon-Amie has topped the charts in femaleslist. The kennel has bred over the years about 50 CHAMPIONS, several with many long titles, and all agility stars not to forget.
Thanks to all puppy buyers for this!

Without my husband's help had all this been an impossibility. He was pretty cool set of dogs from the beginning, but then Kickan came to us brought his interest in racing again. He who has competed at elite level in skiing and marathon running, it became natural to take the dogs to exercise their rounds every day.
He is a few years now chairman of PhaléneSällskapet, where I am editor of the newspaper. He is also chairman of SDHK (Swedish Toy Dog Association), the successor to the SSD. Now also engaged in SKK.

We have now moved from Stockholm and resident us in Katrineholm Municipality, Sköldinge, a wonderful place for dogs to stay, they have "own" little forest and lots of space to run and own small house where they sleep at night, otherwise they are with us because we both are at home during the day so the dogs get almost all our time.
We have also expanded our kennel with additional races, a small POM-female also, also Chihuahuafemale. Pomeranian is the time of writing had two small black puppies.

In Norrköping in August 2004, it was Vittoria's Natasha (phalène) BIS with his progeny group. I want to thank everyone who sets up and helps in our groups is in the ring.
We have also had the pleasure to export dogs overseas, to among others the United States, Germany, Austria, Norway, Finland, Denmark, Italy, Slovakia, Switzerland, Belgium, Japan and Poland, and received many nice contacts.

News from January 2005 is that I am at home full time with my dogs and my husband:))
It was, unfortunately, far too long route, of course I miss my colleagues and my job.
It was 30 years + with "gold watch" and all.

At DOG WORLD show in July 2008, we had a world winner, SUCH NUCH VWW-08
Vittoria's Headhunter received the title VWW-08.

2009 has been a fantastic year. Two dogs that have actually been show dogs. CH Vittoria's Wyatt Earp and his daughter Vittoria's Redneck who until now has 12 CC and now also a CACIB and she is still youngster. Wyatt Earp has this year received all of their titles SUCH DKUCH FINCH NORDUCH and we are awaiting confirmation of his International title. Court titles are also Mosaiken´s True Star received even she is waiting for the International title. We have now also begun to exhibit a junior, Vittoria's ET, which in his first weekend, which was Best male 2nd and got the CC. Now it's only 2 shows left for this year, so we look forward to 2010 now.

We now look forward to the new puppies and new victories in both the show ring as the agility courses,
a big GOOD LUCK! to all my puppy buyers.
