Andrea Jurcan

I was born in Koper (Slovenia) in 1978.
After I have finished Gymnasium school in Porec (Croatia) I have studied at the University of Trieste (Italy). 
Since 2012 I lived in my hometown Novigrad in Istria-Croatia then in the middle of 2012 I moved to Belgrade, Serbia so I moved my kennel too.
I am an active cynologist since 2006, a member of HKS at first then a member of KSRS and for years a member of different Chow Chow breed clubs. 
I live in a district of Belgrade with my wife and our dogs.
I fell in love with the breed in the ’90 and I got my first Chow in 2000.
I started to breed Chow-Chows in 2006 in Novigrad-Istria (Croatia) and I registrated my kennel under the affix of „Shen Te Chows“ FCI 5523.

Since then I bred many Champions, International Champions, Clubwinners, Cruft’s winners, World and European Winners.

Another great love since I was a child are Dachshunds so since 2018 besides Chows we have also Dachshunds (Miniature and Rabbit; Smooth-Haired and Wire-Haired), Rottweilers and French Bulldogs; we actively breed them under the kennel name „Suny Day’s“ and show them all around Europe with great results.
I am an International FCI judge for group II, IV, V and VIII (all breeds).
My first judging was in 2013, since then I have been judging in several countries at National and International Shows, Clubshows & Speciality Shows: Serbia, Italy, Croatia, Bosnia, Russia, Germany, Poland, Sweden, Norway, Belgium, Hungary, Slovakia, Denmark, Czech Republic, Indonesia, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania.
