European Dog Show 2026 in Stockholm – Outstanding Results for Tauro Kennel
European Dog Show 2026 in Stockholm has become another significant chapter in the history of Tauro Kennel.
We return to Lithuania proud of our dogs, our team, and the results achieved at one of the most important dog shows of the year in Europe.
Every year, the European Dog Show brings together outstanding representatives of different breeds, breeders, and professional handlers from many countries. For us, shows of this level are about much more than competing for prestigious titles. They are an opportunity for years of dedicated breeding, careful selection, meticulous preparation, and the professionalism of our team to be evaluated in an international show ring.
This year, Tauro Kennel was represented in Stockholm by our Pomeranians and Bichon Frise, and we are bringing home an impressive 2 European Winner 2026 and 3 European Hope 2026 titles, as well as Best of Breed and Best of Opposite Sex titles, Best in Group 3, and 4th place in the Best in Show Breeders Group competition.
Pomeranians – Success at the Highest Level
One of the most memorable moments of this championship for us was the performance of TAURO PRANCISKUS.
Pranciskus earned the prestigious European Winner 2026 title and was selected Best of Breed (BOB) – the best Pomeranian at the show. But his journey that day did not end there.
In the evening finals, under judge Paul Stanton from Sweden, Pranciskus was awarded Best in Group 3 (BIG 3) – becoming the third-best dog in his group at the show.
This is another remarkable international achievement for a dog who has been one of the brightest stars of Tauro Kennel for many years.
TAURO AUSRA also delivered an outstanding performance, becoming European Winner 2026 and Best of Opposite Sex (BOS).
We are especially proud of our younger generation. TAURO KENNEL JP BARTOLAMEO earned the European Hope 2026 title and became Best of Breed Puppy, while TAURO KENNEL JP REINIRA was awarded European Hope 2026 and Best of Opposite Sex Puppy.
Our other Pomeranians also contributed to the strong overall results of Tauro Kennel:
- Tauro Kennel JP Belbo – Excellent 2/9, Intermediate Class
- Tauro Kennel JP Stella – Excellent 3/18, Junior Class
- Tauro Kennel JP Tampa – Excellent 1/3, Intermediate Class
- Tauro Kennel JP Šampanė – Excellent 3, Intermediate Class
- Tauro Kennel JP Victoria – Excellent 1/9, Open Class
- Tauro Kennel JP Bentayga – Excellent 3/9, Open Class
Tauro Kennel – Among the Best Kennels at the European Dog Show
Another result we are particularly proud of was our performance in the Best in Show Breeders Group competition.
Under judge Adrian Landarte from Uruguay, Tauro Kennel took 4th place – BIS Breeders Group 4th Place – among the top kennels competing at the European Dog Show.
The Breeders Group competition holds a special meaning for us. It is not about evaluating one exceptional dog, but several dogs bred by the same kennel as a group – their breed type, quality, harmony, and the consistency of the breeder’s vision.
For this reason, such a result means much more to us than another show placement. It is recognition of the breeding work we have dedicated ourselves to for many years.
Bichon Frise – European Hope 2026 and Strong Class Results
Our Bichon Frise also achieved excellent results at the European Dog Show.
The greatest success among our young generation was achieved by TAURO KENNEL JP WINDORA, who earned the prestigious European Hope 2026 title.
The results of our other Tauro Kennel Bichon Frise:
- Tauro Kennel JP Marwela – Excellent 4/7, Junior Class
- Tauro Kennel JP Donda – Excellent 1/3, Intermediate Class, Best Female 3 & Swedish R.CAC
- Tauro Kennel JP Dalona – Excellent 2/3, Open Class
- Tauro Kennel JP FIFA – Excellent 3/6, Champion Class, Best Female 4
- Tauro Kennel JP Focachio – Excellent 2, Intermediate Class
- Tauro Kennel JP Karun – Excellent 3/6, Champion Class, R.CAC & Best Male 4
We would like to thank Judge Julie Sparrow.
2 European Winners and 3 European Hopes
We leave European Dog Show 2026 with results that speak for themselves:
2 European Winner 2026 titles
3 European Hope 2026 titles
Tauro Pranciskus – Best in Group 3 (BIG 3)
Tauro Kennel – Best in Show Breeders Group, 4th Place
But behind every title lies far more than just a few minutes in the show ring.
There are years of responsible breeding, carefully selected bloodlines, dedication to our dogs’ health and development, socialisation, coat care, training, preparation, and the daily work of our entire team. Every dog that steps into a ring at this level represents the result of a long journey and the efforts of many people.
It is especially important for us to see that the highest recognition is achieved not only by our already established and titled dogs, but also by the younger generation. The European Hope 2026 titles demonstrate the strength of the future of the Tauro Kennel breeding programme and show that the breed type we have developed remains competitive at the highest level of international dog shows.
We are proud of every one of our dogs – not only those who stood on the highest steps of the podium that day. We are equally proud of the entire team that raised, cared for, prepared, and presented them in the ring.
European Dog Show 2026 in Stockholm marks another important milestone in the history of Tauro Kennel.
Another show, another international recognition, and another confirmation that the breeding vision we have been developing and preserving for more than three decades continues forward.
Until next time!
