Blaaholm Great Danes was established in 1927 by the late Else & Jacob Staunskjaer and is today the oldest active kennel in Denmark (and worldwide?). Blaaholm has bred and imported many National, Nordic and International Champions. Since 1970 when the title was introduced officially Blaaholm has owned and/or bred the Great Dane of the Year in Denmark 31 times. Blaaholm has during the years exported excellent Danes to more than 60 countries. Today the kennel is still owned by the Staunskjaer family. Else and Jacob’s son Ole started judging Great Danes at the age of 18 years and is today a highly esteemed international FCI all-round judge. Ole is honorary member of the Danish Kennel Club and has been member of the general committee for 25 years. Ole is also honorary member of the Great Dane Club in Denmark and has been member of the general committee of this club for 36 years. Ole's wife Tove has been a very successful breeder of Boxer and Lhasa Apso with the Palomino prefix and has won the Dog of the Year title in Denmark twice with the outstanding Lhasa Apso Saxonspring Famous Flier. Tove and Ole’s daughter Camilla is the third generation on Blaaholm and has represented Denmark as juniorhandler at Crufts and have for a couple of years been Breeder of the Year in Denmark with Norwich Terrier. Today Blaaholm is solely focusing on breeding and showing Great Danes. Camilla’s husband Carsten Birk has been chairman of the Great Dane Club in Denmark for four years. Today he is member of the Danish Kennel Clubs show committee and international FCI-judge for Group 2 (all breeds) and 22 other breeds in Group 1, 3, 5 and 9.
