Klucniece, Vija

Vija’s biggest dream in the childhood was – to become an owner of a dog. In 1967 she had her first white Giant Spitz Chico, who left her at the age of 15.

Since 1981, she bred Klein Spitzes, uptill now in some pedigrees of her dogs she can find the rootes from her black bitch Wensy. But her biggest love is Chow Chow. This breed was not present in performed USSR and when she had her black male from Poland in 1988, it was the first imported Chow Chow in Latvia. Nowdays she has Papillons, it was the destiny which took this breed in her home and during last 8 years she enjoys her dogs and this breed at all.

Vija bred some champions and international champions, but she is not a very big breeder, because she has a lot of duties in the Latvian Cynology Federation. From 1982 till 1990, she was the president of the Toy Breeds Club. From 1996, she has been elected and reelected as the president of Latvian Cynology Federation. She is member of the Board in the Animal Protection Group. She had participated in all working groups arranged by the Ministry of Agriculture in Latvia about legislation for animals.
