Hello! We are Natalia Stereva – that's me, and my
daughter Nastia. We live in Klaipeda, a town on the Baltic coast of
Lithuania. I will tell you about my town some time later, and now here
is some of our history... |

Our story began quite some time ago, way back in 1991. I was dreaming of a dog, and my choice was a Schnauzer. In June 1991 I brought a Scnauzer (Mittelschnauzer) dog from Moscow: Eran RICHARD STING (bred by A.Terekhova). I did know much about this breed, but I just happened to be a lucky novice, so I became the owner of the first Scnauzer registered in Lithuania (Regd. No. LSVK S 0001/92), who soon became the first Lithuanian Champion in this breed. He did not only make a most successful show career, but his blood lines are continued in many generations, and the top show winning Schnauzers in this part of the world are his children and grandchildren. |
| The time went by, my dog was growing older and finally retired, but I became addicted to the Schnauzer breed for good. It became clear that I needed some remedy against this addiction. In 1992 I met a Miniature Scnauzer (Zwergschnauzer) and fell in love with him, but it happened so that I brought two dogs of this breed to Klaipeda only in 2000: Fler Park DAFFODIL (a dog, bred by M.Kuzmicheva) and Santa Knyrys HAPPY LADY (a bitch, bred by N.Grechaninova and N.Shiriaeva). That was also when my kennel prefix SANDORA was registered. | ![]() |

In 2003 a 4-months old female
puppy came to my kennel just as a visitor, and a happy chance decided that she
stayed here for good. This girl, Boltres MIRANDA (bred by A. and Z. Scerbins)
easily started winning the hearts of the show judges right away. In February 2004 I brought another girl from Kennel FLER PARK, she was Fler Park PRIMAVERA (bred by M.Kuzmicheva). We have great hopes for her, and it looks like they are already coming true. I will not bore you with listing all the awards and titles of our dogs here, you will find all of them in the other sections of this site. I would only like to say that all the brilliant show achievements of our dogs are also shared by other people. |
| I am very grateful to Anna
Terekhova, the mother of my first Schnauzer, who became my first teacher
and tutor in grooming and training my dogs. I learned quite a lot from her.
I would like to give my heartfelt thanks to Marina Kuzmicheva, owner of
Kennel FLER PARK, and to Zhanna Scerbina, owner of Kennel BOLTRES, who
trusted me enough to let their best puppies stay with me, and for their
help and advice in dog breeding and showing – which is not so easy as it
seems at first. On my part I will do all that I can to live up to the expectations of my friends and teachers... Natalia Stereva, owner of Kennel SANDORA. |
