About us @ Kennel Kiosan's

History, information about our kennel and contact details.

Malinois male puppy

Our journey began in 1990 with Racot's Amisco—"Kio"—a red Tervueren born in a Groenendael litter. Kio was the perfect companion to start our adventure and introduced us to the world of Belgian Shepherds. He taught us so much about the breed and remains close to our hearts.

In 1992, we welcomed our first Tervueren female Holmåsa's Kyndel, or "Sandi," whose passion for training was unmistakable. She earned her obedience championship title at just 18 months old. Sadly, her life was cut short by osteochondrosis, but the lessons and joy she brought us live on.

Then in 1995 came Hexen House Vildah—a turning point for us. Vildah became our foundation female, a brilliant show dog, and a cherished family member. She earned four Best of Breed titles and three Best in Show placements at our national specialty. Her memories continues even after her untimely passing from cancer at seven years old.

Our interest in Malinois took shape in 2007 with the arrival of the striking Malinois female No-How Vision of Dream, who later became Junior World Winner when the show was hosted in Sweden. A year later, the charismatic Malinois female Belgross Xena joined the family, and our appreciation for the breed deepened further.

In 2022, we expanded our kennel with two Shiba imported from Russia, "Zumi" and "Shine". These spirited and independent dogs quickly captured our hearts with their bold personalities. The following year, in 2023, we welcomed a Shikoku, "Tuba", from Italy. Known for their loyalty and courage, the Shikoku is a rare and ancient Japanese breed that brings a unique presence to our home.

The list of dogs who’ve shared our home and hearts is long—each one unforgettable in their own way.

Though breeding had always been on our minds, it wasn’t until 1997 that we welcomed our first Tervueren litter, followed by our first Malinois litter in 2009. Our first Shiba litters arrived in 2024, marking an exciting new chapter for our kennel. Each new generation of puppies brings the same joy, anticipation, and devotion.

Our ambition with breeding is simple but strong: to raise healthy, happy puppies that are true to the breed standard and contribute to a genetically sound future. We strive to bring up well-balanced dogs that thrive as family members and are ready for whatever adventures their new owners can imagine—whether it’s long hikes, training, dog sports, or cozy evenings on the couch.

Throughout the years, we've formed cherished friendships with puppy buyers worldwide. Your support and trust mean the world to us.

Today, we reside in Vendelsö (Haninge), approximately 20 km south of Stockholm. Our home is nestled beside expansive forests, offering countless trails for our dogs to explore and enjoy.

Thanks for stopping by, and we hope you enjoy getting to know us and our dogs.
Warm regards,
Jocke & Monika
