We are a team, Juha Kares founded this tradition over 25 years ago. As he was only 14 years of age and had this big ambition of breeding and showing the highest quality pedigree dogs with unique pedigrees. It was impossible to do it alone being so young - so family, friends and relatives began to help and fell in love with this wonderful hobby too. It was a unique way to do it. All the dogs could live a real good quality life as beloved family members and still be shown and the best of them used for breeding.
Together we can do more, we can think more and have many opinions always debating about future breeding plans. The Kares family in three generations is involved , many friends and families work together with us plus we have some top kennels around the world working closely together with us.
We have always tried to breed the very best and create genetically variaiting unique pedigrees. So we have imported over 30 dogs around the world including Australia, USA, England, Sweden, Norway, Holland, Belgium, France, Italy. Many of these dogs have been BIS winning champions and proven producers. We have mated our top winning bitches always where we think the males have been available no matter what country or distance there has been.
Chic Choix- Team has bred/owned well over 100 champions in the past 20 years. These superior dogs have won well over 100 Best in Groups, around 1.000 group placements and over 50 Best in Shows all over the world, including Finland, Sweden , Norway, USA, Italy, Belgium, Estonia etc. All our dogs have been at private stud only as we try to create genetical variation not to make it smaller. We have produced and exported over 30 champion brood bitches around the world that have began new traditions and produced champions themselves. Our private stud dogs, even if given for stud very limited - have managed to produced well over 100 champions for other breeders around the world.
Chic Choix-Team has very tight breeding programs, so that every litter is part of a larger breeding program that have been planned many generations forward. Breeding programs are planned together trying to think of every single aspect of the litters. We plan breeding programs with the help of the computer counting in-breeding index, we plan breeding programs at the weekend house at the seaside, we plan the breeding programs listening to classical music, we plan the breeding programs listening to hard music : Trying to get different aspects and so many innovations as simply possible. Finally once a year Juha Kares goes totally isolated for couple of weeks and put these hundreds and hundreds of plans and ideas together doing the final breeding programs for the next generations....that can again produce something new and better…. Champions that can win and produce champions.
We only produce litters as we need breeding material ourselves so from each litter produced we keep something ourselves: Every litter has to give something or should be able to build next generations. From these top youngsters we finish most of them , so about 30-50 % puppies born here will finish their titles. Later on we choose the very best champions to continue the Chic Choix tradition. We use for breeding only mentally and physically healthy dogs that can easily manage everyday family life.
This is our unique philosophy and we try to create and breed as beautiful dogs that simply possible – dogs that can enjoy their life and live their life as beloved individuals and family members to the very end.
