International Dog Shows Tallinn, Estonia 2026 – Four New Champion Titles
Three days of international competition, four new champion titles, two Reserve Best in Group placements and numerous victories – the International Dog Shows in Tallinn, Estonia, became another memorable weekend for Tauro kennel JP.
October 16-18th, 2026, our team participated in three days of international dog shows in Tallinn, presenting our Pomeranians and Bichon Frise in the show rings.
We returned to Lithuania with results that made us incredibly proud of our dogs, their achievements and the dedication of our entire team.
Among the greatest highlights of the weekend were the outstanding performances of Tauro Kennel JP Bentayga, who earned two Best of Breed titles and reached the Group 5 podium twice, as well as four new Estonian champion titles completed by our dogs.
Each day brought new achievements, memorable moments and another opportunity to see the results of our breeding programme recognised in the international show ring.
Day 1 – A Strong Start for Our Pomeranians and Bichon Frise
The first day in Tallinn began with wonderful results for both breeds representing Tauro Kennel.
Bichon Frise
Under judge Heather Brennan from Canada, our beautiful Tauro Kennel JP Bellatrix delivered an excellent performance.
Bellatrix earned JunCAC, JunCACIB, Junior Best of Opposite Sex and Best of Opposite Sex (BOS).
These results marked a successful beginning to the weekend for our young Bichon Frise female, who continues to gain valuable experience and recognition in international competition.
Pomeranians
Our Pomeranians also had an impressive first day under judge Rasma Ergle from Latvia.
Tauro Kennel JP Nova achieved JunCAC, JunCACIB, Junior Best of Breed and 2nd Best Female, demonstrating her quality and promising development in the junior class.
Meanwhile, Tauro Kennel JP Bentayga earned CAC, CACIB and Best of Breed (BOB), becoming the best Pomeranian of the day.
It was a wonderful start to the three-day event, with both our established show dogs and younger representatives achieving excellent results.
The excitement continued in the evening finals, where Tauro Kennel JP Bentayga represented the Pomeranian breed in the FCI Group 5 competition.
Tauro Kennel JP Bentayga – Reserve Best in Group!
Under judge Pekka Teini from Finland, Bentayga achieved an outstanding 2nd place in FCI Group 5 – Reserve Best in Group (BIG 2)!
Day 2 – Bentayga Continues Her Winning Streak
The second day brought even more reasons to celebrate, with our dogs once again achieving important results in their respective breed rings.
Bichon Frise
Under judge Peter Friedrich Berchtold from Austria, Tauro Kennel JP Bellatrix continued her successful weekend.
She earned JunCAC, JunCACIB and Junior Best of Opposite Sex, adding another set of excellent results to her growing show record.
We are especially pleased to see our younger dogs performing consistently across different days and under different judges.
Pomeranians
The Pomeranian breed was judged by Markku Mähönen from Finland.
For the second consecutive day, Tauro Kennel JP Bentayga achieved an outstanding result, earning CAC, CACIB and Best of Breed (BOB) once again.
Winning Best of Breed on consecutive days is always a special achievement, reflecting the consistent quality and presentation of a dog in international competition.
Our beautiful Tauro Kennel JP Matilda also achieved an excellent result, receiving Reserve CACIB.
Bentayga – Another Group Podium
The excitement continued beyond the breed ring.
Tauro Kennel JP Bentayga achieved an impressive Reserve Best in Group (BIG 2) placement in FCI Group 5, under judge Markku Mähönen from Finland.
This was another significant international achievement for Bentayga, who had already enjoyed an exceptional show season.
Following her Best in Show victory at the International CACIB Dog Shows in Palanga, seeing her continue to achieve outstanding results in Estonia was especially rewarding for our team. Her success reflects the qualities we value in our Pomeranians – excellent breed type, balanced proportions, beautiful expression, confident temperament and strong show presence.
Day 3 – Matilda’s Time to Shine
The final day in Tallinn brought another wonderful achievement for our Pomeranian team.
Under judge Marie Thorpe from Ireland, Tauro Kennel JP Matilda earned CAC and CACIB.
After receiving Reserve CACIB on the previous day, Matilda finished the weekend with another excellent result, completing her Estonian Champion (EST CH) title.
It was a particularly special moment for our team to see another one of our girls achieve an important milestone in her international show career.
Four New Champion Titles for Tauro Kennel
One of the greatest achievements of our three days in Tallinn was completing four new champion titles.
We are proud to celebrate:
- Tauro Kennel JP Nova – NEW Estonian Junior Champion (EST JCH)
- Tauro Kennel JP Bentayga – NEW Estonian Champion (EST CH)
- Tauro Kennel JP Matilda – NEW Estonian Champion (EST CH)
- Tauro Kennel JP Bellatrix – NEW Estonian Junior Grand Champion
Each of these titles represents another important milestone in the development and international show careers of our dogs.
We are particularly pleased to see achievements across different generations, from promising young representatives such as Nova and Bellatrix to our successful adult Pomeranians Bentayga and Matilda.
We are incredibly proud of our dogs, not only for their victories, but also for the way they represent the qualities and standards we have been developing at Tauro Kennel for more than three decades. Our sincere thanks go to all the judges who evaluated our dogs throughout the weekend, and to every member of our team whose hard work, preparation, handling and care made these results possible.
