 For the 1980-1981 Holiday season, Daniel was at Jean Richard’s [[Jean Richard|Nouvel Hippodrome de Paris]], set up in Paris at the Porte de Pantin. His lions had aged and were becoming irascible, putting their trainer in a difficult situation on increasingly frequent occasions. He eventually retired them, and began the 1981 season at Cirque Jean Richard without his cats.

 Later that year, he joined [[Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey]] Circus’s Blue Unit in the United States, where he presented [[Charly Baumann]]’s tigers during the matinee shows, and trained a group of exotic animals. It is during this engagement with Ringling that his daughter, Sandrine, debuted as an animal trainer in her own right.

 In 1970, with the help of his father and Jo Clavel, Daniel trained a superb group of six Atlas lions Jean Richard had purchased at the Leipzig zoo&mdash;one of the last places were genuine Atlas lions were still bred. The following year (1971) Daniel Suskov made his circus debut with that group at [[Cirque Amar]], and then spent the 1972 and 1973 seasons at [[Cirque Jean Richard]].
 [[The Knie Dynasty|Circus Knie]] hired Suskov’s spectacular lion act for its 1974 season, and then it was at Munich’s [[Circus Kronebau]] for this circus’s first 1975 winter program. Suskov was subsequently featured at Cirque Jean Richard from 1975 to 1977, with a particularly successful halt at Brussels’ [[Cirque Royal (Brussels)||Cirque Royal]], in Belgium, for [[Jean-Pierre Richard]]’s ''Olympiades du Cirque'' in 1976. On this occasion, Suskov’s act was shown on French television.

 After a short stint with Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey, Suskov returned to Europe and joined the tour of [[Cirque Alexandre Bouglione]] in Belgium, where he presented a group of African elephants, and assisted Alexandre Bouglione with his group of tigers. He was still in Belgium at the beginning of 1992, where he joined the [[Cirque Rose-Marie Malter|Toy Star Circus]], before accepting a contract with one of Frances’s many circuses renting the ''Zavatta'' title&mdash;this one under the management of Rico Micheletty.
 In 1993, Daniel Suskov joined the [[Cirque Moreno-Bormann]], where he trained a group of exotic animals, presented the circus’s elephants, and even put together a riding tiger act (a tiger riding a horse). His next contract was with André-Joseph Bouglione brand new [[Cirque Joseph Bouglione]], where he trained a group of tigers, a liberty act, and a group of exotic animals. His daughter, Sandrine, would eventually marry André-Joseph Bouglione.
