We breed mini smooth and bred best show dachshound of the year 2017, same bitch was shown at Crufts where she was placed as 5th in open and winner of other class there. Also with dachsies we work. Same bitch was 3rd at blood treck exam from 24 dogs. Her brothers did fox hole for 18 resp. 20 sec.
As judge I started in 2003 with whippets, then followed poodles, saluki and Junior handling. Because I had grow with this competition I feel my duty to follow and to help young people in our doggie world. As judge I judged final at European dog show 2014 in Junior handling and I will be judging JH at World dog show 2021. From other breeds I can judge full group X – sighthounds, full group IV – dachshounds, full group IX. – companion dogs and now finishing first 4 breeds from group VII. – german shorthaired pointing dog, gordon setter and both irish setters.

I like to travel, to see new people, but I do it beacuse I love dogs… so I always look for nice, well socialized, healthy dogs. Competition in ring is fun and sport, but we must still care that our sport is in big correlation with breeding and future of pure bred dogs. Let´s do it well.
