The first dog in our house was an East-European Sheepdog, then a Giant Schnauzer. Both dogs were Champions of utility and beauty.

In 1986, I acquired my first Poodle: a Miniature silver girl LABINA GLEN, winner of multiple shows and foundation bitch for Poodle breeding in the "GENTLY BORN" kennel.

The kennel got its official registration in 1994.

Today, the Gold Poodle Fund of the "GENTLY BORN" kennel contains 15 International Champions, more than 40 Champions and Young Champions of our National Club, and about 100 Champions of Russia, Belarus, Bulgaria, Ukraine, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Finland, and other countries.

In 2008 I became the first official breeder of harlequin Poodles in Russia and owner of the first two harlequin Miniature Poodles, winning the titles of Champion of Russia and Champion of National Club.
