From January 23–25, 2026, the city of Kaunas, Lithuania, hosted three International CACIB Dog Shows (3 × CACIB) under the organization of the LKMS Club, welcoming strong competition, experienced breeders, and an international panel of judges. Events of this level provide an important benchmark for kennels aiming not for isolated wins, but for long-term consistency and international recognition.

For Tauro Kennel JP, these three days in Kaunas became a clear demonstration of breeding stability, selection quality, and professional preparation.

At international CACIB events, Best in Show and Best in Group awards carry particular significance, as they bring together winners from different breeds evaluated under unified FCI standards, including structure, movement, breed type, temperament, and overall harmony.

The most outstanding results were achieved by:

Tauro Kennel JP Karun
2 × BEST IN SHOW
2 × BEST IN GROUP
BEST IN GROUP – 3 vieta

A World Winner 2025, Karun once again proved his exceptional quality, ring presence, and consistency under different judges. He is the son of the legendary Tauro Misoko, clearly inheriting strong type, balance, and true winner’s character.

Tauro Pangea 
BEST IN GROUP

Tauro Bolonia
2 × Res. BEST IN GROUP

Success in junior, puppy, and baby classes reflects the future direction of a kennel. Tauro Kennel JP’s young generation delivered impressive performances:

Tauro Kennel JP Malveja (Pomeranian)
BEST IN SHOW Baby – 5 place

Tauro Kennel JP Focachio (Bichon Frise)
BEST IN SHOW Junior – 3 place

Tauro Kennel JP Rivjera (Maltese)
BEST IN SHOW Puppy – 1 place

Breeders and Braces competitions are among the most important evaluations for experienced breeders, as they assess not individual dogs, but uniformity of type, construction consistency, and breeding direction.

The Kaunas International CACIB Shows once again confirmed that Tauro Kennel JP’s success is built on responsible breeding, long-term vision, and professional presentation rather than momentary achievements.
