taking place on Friday, August 28, 2026
at the picturesque Viimsi Open Air Museum.
Registration is open!
LOCATION: Viimsi Open Air Museum, Kingu coastal farm (Rohuneeme tee 53a, Viimsi, Harjumaa)
ORGANIZER: ESTONIAN CHOW CHOW CLUB (ECCK)
JUDGE: STEFAN RENNICKE (Germany)
My passion for the Chow Chow began since I was 10 years old. I was fascinated by the unique presence, dignity and independent character of these dogs - an enthusiasm that has never left me to this day. In 2022, I began my education as a Specialist Judge for Chow Chows, which I successfully completed at the end of 2023. Since then, I have been judging Chow Chows at dog shows and greatly enjoy contributing my experience and knowledge in the show ring. Since 2026, I have also been an International FCI judge. Additionally, since 2022, I have been a member of the board of the Allgemeiner Chow-Chow-Club e.V.
As a judge, I place great importance on fairness, respect for the dog and the exhibitors, and the preservation of the typical, healthy, and sound-tempered Chow Chow in accordance with the FCI breed standard.
At the moment, I have two Chow Chows, who are the love of my life. I have exhibited them successfully in many countries and both are Multi Champions.
I am very pleased and honoured by the invitation from the Estonian Chow Chow Club to judge the Club Chow on August 28, 2026, as it gives me the opportunity for my first judging abroad. I look forward to meet many beautiful Chow Chows as well as dedicated breeders and enthusiasts of the breed.
