Karel

In 1998, through Benno Steinmeijer, a mutual friend from the Netherlands, Karel met Loretta. In 2000 Loretta and Karel formed a partnership that has worked for over ten years. Their friendship and love of the breed lead to them co-owning BISS Ch. Jade East Mission To Mars.
 
Campaigning Mission in Europe and South and Central America, Karel and Mission won the World Champion title five times. In addition to Mission’s wins, there have been many World Champion and Junior World Champion titles won all over the globe by Karel and Jade East dogs. One of Karel’s favorites, Ch. Jade East Escape From Mars, not only won the World Champion title in 2003 but was the first Shar-Pei to win a Best in Show in Netherlands.

Exhibiting the Jade East dogs with style and grace, Karel has made a name for himself in the breed and is a handler to watch in the ring.
