About Caeles

Caeles is owned by Margret I. Veigarsdottir

The founder of Caeles is Kari-Anne Jacobsen, she had her first litter of IGs in 2000. The Caeles prefix (wich means ”heavenly” in latin) was not added until 2003, which is why the first litter does not carry a prefix. Margrét joined Caeles in 2006 2 years after meeting Kari-Anne and endless talking about dogs, combinations, ideas, goals and what not.

The heart and soul of the Caeles IGs is Ch Canta Libre The Sundance kid. “Cassidy” is our foundation dog, and we base our lines on him and his lineage.

Cassidy came to us as a rescue dog on valentine´s day 2002. It was Stine (his "mom") who picked him up, and it was love at first sight! Cassidy is a highly treasured (and spoiled) family memeber and wherever Stine goes “Cass” goes too.

If it wasn´t for this little guy (36cm) Caeles probably wouldn´t exist. He defines the type of IG we would like to breed: small without being miniature like, elegant, leggy, a great mover and not at least healthy with a temperament to die for!

We have a lot to thank Cassidy for: not only has he sired some wonderful puppies for us and his previous owner, but he has also put us in contact with people who have opened doors for us we never thought was possible!

Thanks to all of you, who have been generous and patient to share your knowledge and experience. A special thought goes for Alison Parkhouse and Jo Amsel. You are the best! Thank you both!

Late 2009 Margret took over the name/kennel completely while Kari-Anne carries on with her studies of veterinary medicin in Budapest where she's also active and putting focus on her carreer in horses with her beautiful (licenced) stallion Bradley Beach.

I have travelled around Scandinavia as a kennelhelp for various breeders. I live in Belgium now with my spouse, IGs, poodle, Chinese crested and one cat!

All the dogs live inside the house and are with me during the day. I do not work so I am always at home and when I'm at shows or away my spouse takes care of the dogs. They sleep in big, spacious crates as they are simply too many to sleep in bed and I need my rest to be able to take care of them:)

My hobbies are mostly dog related as my life is all about the dogs, I like to go to activities such as coursing, racing, agility and will hopefully do obidience with some of my dogs in the near future.

I am very interested in photography, especially dog photography and am available to take photos of dogs for others on request. I am also very interested in handling and taking it to a professional level, I have handled dogs for knl Eugenios with great results and every now and then I've taken dogs for others in the ring and will hopefully do more of that soon.

I am born and raised in Iceland, but have been living abroad since september 2004. I started my adventure in Denmark, went from there to become a kennel help in Finland for Riitta Aho and her Punapaulan Afghans and poodles before going to Norway to knl Jets Greyhounds and Åge Gjetnes Afghan Hounds. From there I went to Tone Bekkåsen Fischer, knl Eugenios, where I took care and helped showing her poodles, chinese cresteds and italian greyhounds.

All these great breeders have taught me alot, and I thank each and everyone of them for taking me in and sharing their knowledge with me.

I have some exciting plans for the years to come so come back and check for updates.

I strive for healthy & beautiful dogs, in both body and mind!
