| Born into a family where greyhounds have been part of everyday life since 1955, Espen Engh
has been very actively involved in the dogs from a very early age. The first litter of greyhounds carrying the prefix Jet's was bred by Espen and his late mother Kari in 1975.
The Jet's are the top winning greyhound kennel of all time, having made up 224 individual homebred champions, including 106 FCI International champions. The Jet's bitch line includes a unique ten consecutive generations of Best in Show winning international champion bitches. Int.Ch.

Jet's Man in the Moon in 2016. Espen has also co-owned several Afghan Hound and Whippet champions with his life partner Åge Gjetnes. Their latest venture is Griffon Bruxellois where several Jet's homebred champions have been made up, including the first ever English and American champion bitch in the breed. Åge won the group at Crufts 2015 with his home-bred Miniature Poodle. Espen judged his first dog show in 1984 and was approved to judge at championship show level in 1987.
