Adam Ostrowski

My very first purebred dog was a English cocker spaniel, which I got from my parents when I was 6 years old, but my big dream was a dachshund, which I bought myself a few years later.

In 1991 I joined the Polish Kennel Club and started breeding Rottweilers and Miniature Schnauzers, but it was the Chinese Crested Dogs that appeared in 1994 and completely captured my heart for next several years. Over the years, dogs with the prefix "Next Germanika" have won many prestigious titles at the most important shows all over the world including World Winner and European Winner titles as well as plenty of BIS placements.

In 2003, I passed my very first judge exam. Currently, I am qualified for part of group II (pinschers, schnauzers and Black Russian Terriers), group III (without bull types terriers) group IV, IX and X. I am also a member of the Board of Polish Judges Directory.

Over time, other breeds appeared in my home. I also owned or breed some Azawakh, poodles, chihuahuas, Griffons, King Charles spaniels and dachshunds. I still breeding and actively participate in shows all over the Europe. The biggest current success was winning Best in Show at the European Dog Show 2023 in Herning with my Dandie Dinmont Terrier.

Beata Petkevica

In cynology since 1986, when she acquired her first dogs - Rough Collies. In 1996 they were joined by the first Pembroke Welsh Corgi in Latvia. The Doberman breed has been a dream since childhood, which, for various reasons, did not come true. Nowdays has at home Rough Collies – male and his daughter.

Since 1992 – Judge of the Latvian Cynological Federation. For several years she lectured on the exterior for future cynologists, was a member of the judging bureau. During those years has been invited to judge different shows in many countries: in Latvia, Estonia, Lithuania, Finland, Denmark, Poland, Sweeden, Slovenia, Norway, Ukraine, Germany, France, Argentina, Australia and others. Also had a honour to judge European Dog Show in Slovenia and Ukraine.

The main activity outside cynology is related to Human Recurce management.

“In any representative of the breed, first of all, I’m looking for the overall harmony. In the perception of the judge, the representative of the breed should ideally be the sound through which the notes sound - the breed standard.”

Carin Åkesson

Så som 13-åring fick jag min första hund. Min önskan var att få en collie men mina föräldrar tyckte att det var en för stor hund och valet föll i stället på en shetland sheepdog. När han var 1 år, kom uppfödaren på besök och övertalade oss att ställa ut honom. Det gick över förväntan och han blev BIR och uttagen i gruppen på sin första utställning! Det blev startskottet för min ”karriär” inom hundsport!

Första valpkullen föddes 1975. Mitt kennelnamn blev Windcrest. Under senare delen av 80-talet bodde jag i England och tog med mig 4 hundar från Sverige. En av dem blev den första sheltie som var född utanför Storbritannien att erövra den engelska championtiteln. 1990 flyttade familjen åter till Sverige.

Framgångar i utställningsringen med min uppfödning är bl a 3 generationer Världsvinnare, BIR Cruft’s 2016, BIR och BIM Cruft’s 2017 samt 2018, förutom flertalet BIS i Sverige. Intresset för att bli domare hade ökat med åren och 1989 blev jag antagen till Svenska Kennelklubbens domarutbildning och har sedan dess blivit auktoriserad på 45 raser. Har haft domaruppdrag i Australien, England samt i de flesta länderna i Europa.

Claudio De Giuliani

I was born in Forno di Zoldo, a little village in the Dolomites, a fine area known in the world for its mountains. I have always had dogs as my companions in life: when I was a child and joined my father in the hunting and later when I became a hunter. First with a hound, later with a pointing dog.

The German shorthaired pointer was my first breeding. It was in the 70s! My great love for the German breeds also made the German longhaired pointer known to me
and I started to breed them; some of them become important in the show competitions and in the hunt.

I was the first Italian breeder who imported the German longhaired pointer into Italy and I had the first Champion in Italy of this breed. I am very fond of the German wirehaired pointer, but only as a dog lover and not as a breeder.

I have always studied the pure dogs and I began to judge in 1979. Now I am an All Rounder since 2004. I was a delegate of the Italian Kennel Club in the C.I.D., (German Wirehaired Pointer dog) and was also a member of the pure breed book of the Italian Kennel Club. I was in the Italian Kennel Club Committee and in the Italian Judge Committee. Now I am in the FCI Judges Committee.

I like writing articles regarding dogs, I have written on the most popular Italian dogs’ magazine, and I have also written 12 books and I have made a video about dog training. I like to hunt and walk in the mountains and photographing the nature.

With my wife Manuela I have been a good dachshund breeder with good success, with many show champions.

I have already judged in all Europe countries, England, in Argentina, in Russia, in Mexico, in Venezuela, Peru, Colombia, Usa, Australia, New Zeeland, Philippine, Tasmania, Thailand and South Africa, Japan, China.

I have judged in the European Dog Show in Hungary, Croatia, Slovenia, Holland, Romania, Switzerland and Czech Republic in 2014 and in Norway in 2015, in Ukraine 2017, Poland 2018, Austria 2019, Slovenia 2021 and Hungary 2021 and France 2022. I have judged in the WDS in Sweden 2008, Slovakia , Denmark, Austria, Budapest, Helsinki in 2014, Milan 2015 and Moscow 2016, in Leipzig 2017 Holland 2018, in China 2019, in Czech Republic in 2021 and Spain in 2022. I will judge at the EDS 2023, Denmark, and WDS 2023 Switzerland. I will judge at the WDS in Croatia and at EDS in Slovenia.

I have judged at Crufts and Eukanuba Challenge in USA in 2010.

Some results:

• German Shorthaired Pointer: since 1970 until 1988; many Excellent in the dog Show and a few results in a field trial; I was in many German and Austrian Competition;
• German Longhaired Pointer : since 1976 until 1990; many Excellent in the dog Show and a few results in a field trial; one Italian Champion and one International Champion
• Dachshund: since 1987; many Excellent in the dog Show ; some Italian Champion; International Champion, one Europe Champion; for two time, Vienna and Berna, Second Place with Reserve Cacib in a World Champion, two Club Champion, Reserve Cacib Vienna 2005 European Dog Show

In my house now I have Rhodesian Ridgeback and English setter.

Dogs are my life and have been since I was a child. I grew up with Cocker Spaniels and can remember traveling through the night to Dog Shows sharing the back seat with the dogs.  When our mother was overseas on a judging appoint - her trip coincided with the renowned Judy de Casembroot from the U.K., judging a cocker Specialty in Wellington. Although we were only about 10 and 11 years old, off to Wellington we went on the train to show Mum's Dogs. We often joke that The 'COCKER SPANIEL' is in our genes!

In the early days there were also Poodles, then Dobermans and Dachshund. As well as the Cocker Spaniels then came American Cockers and English Setters.

Bichon Frise entered my life in the 1970s and since then I breed and show Eng Cocker Spaniels and Bichon Frise. I exhibit the dogs I have bred under the prefixes - Woodfalls and Shandau.

I married into Dachshunds in 1973 and throughout the following years my husband and I have bred and shown Dachshunds all varieties for many years.

Having Imported and Exhibited many dogs there is nothing more exciting than showing and winning with a home bred dog - the result of years experience and knowledge.

I have taken two of our home bred dogs to the Eukanuba World Challenge, firstly in 2010 at Long Beach California and secondly in 2017 to Crufts where we finished in the Top Ten. I was very proud to represent New Zealand with two dogs from our kennel. 

I am an International All Breeds Judge. President of an All-Breeds Club in NZ and Chairman of our local Judges Association. I also own my own boarding kennels.

I sat my first judging exam in 1980 Gundog Breeds and Group. I went on to sit and pass exams for the other groups and became an All-Breeds Judge in 1997. 

I have had the honor to have judged my breeds in many countries as well as New Zealand, America, Canada, Australia, Denmark, Finland, Indonesia. Bulgaria. Brazil. China. Japan. Malaysia. I also have pending judging appointments in Sweden, France and Finland.

Jeg ble autorisert i 2009 , hund har alltid vært min store lidenskap. Oppvokst med mops så de ligger jo såklart mitt hjerte veldig nært og første jeg nesten lærte å lese var stamtavler. Overtok kennelnavnet , Tangetoppen ,  fra mine foreldre i 2000. Har nå snart jobbet 30 år som veterinærassistent og dette er en jobb jeg virkelig trives i. 

Har alltid hatt minst en stor hund sammen med mopsene , og har hatt oppdrett på dvergpinscher , Dogo Canario og fransk bulldog. Men har også hatt dalmatiner og Flat coated retriever. I dag er det mops og labrador som er min store lidenskap og disse matcher hverandre så bra. Hatt både BIR på Crufts og flere Verdensvinnere på eget oppdrett. 

Jeg har dømt i veldig mange av de europeiske landene, i tillegg til USA og Russland. Pga små barn i hus har det blitt mindre dømming de siste årene. Ser nå veldig frem til å dømme på Stockholms utstillingen.

I started my juding training with golden retriever. At that time I also bred goldens under the prefix Dream Max. We started our kennel 1978. My daughter has continued with my old prefix. I was completed judge at golden retriever 1994. After that I continued to educate me on more breeds.

Over the years we had different breeds in our home such as cocker spaniel, springer spaniel, keeshond and siberian husky. Now in recent years, I share my time with jack russell terrier. We have never had many dogs but could not imagine a life without dogs.

I have been privileged to judge in many countries, both in Europe and beyond. Club shows at golden retrievers, I have judged in countries like Australia, New Zealand, the entire Nordic region, Spain, Italy, Ireland and also in England.

Dogs are my hobby, so I keep a lot of courses on the subject.

Looking forward , Eva Nielsen

Under många år har jag tillsammas med min partner ställt ut och haft stora framgångar med bl.a. sveriges första Champion of Champion i mitten av -80 talet.
Har fött upp shih tzu och även erhållit WDS titlar på 4 av hundarna.

Owning and breeding dogs has had a long history in our family. My great grandfather started his „Hamry“ kennel in 1921, breeding German Short-haired Pointers and Wire-haired Fox Terriers. I grew up with my Grandparents Cocker Spaniels and got my first own dog – a Miniature Wire-haired Dachshund female - in 1988, as a birthday present.

My Vitoraz“ kennel was founded in 1990 with the birth of my first Miniature Wire-haired Dachshund litter. I have bred this breed exclusively for many years. In recent times we have added Cesky terriers, a Czech national breed.

During the last 36 years of my active cynological life I have owned and bred altogether more than 300 National and International Champions and many FCI World and European Winners. Vitoraz dogs reside in more than 30 countries on several continents and some of them have, I believe, contributed significantly to the quality of the breed in their country. More than 25 of my dogs have taken part in several working trials. Typical appearance, perfect movement, balanced and friendly character are the main goals in my kennel, together with attention to all the health aspects of this lovely hunting breed.

I have been judging since 2010, and am currently qualified to judge FCI groups IV and IX. I have judged many specialities, national and international shows in more than 25 countries, including World dog shows and European dog shows.

Jeg har arbeidet et langt liv som lege først som almen lege senere som psykiater.

Jeg kjøpte min første egne hund som 11 år gammel. Senere har jeg stort sett hatt hunder. Begynte med boxer senere Irsk setter mens Old English Sheepd og ble min store rase gjennom 27 år sammen med puli som jeg har hatt i 40 år.

Jeg begynte å dømme hunder I 1983 først uoffisielt og senere som autorisert dommer. Jeg har dømt I de fleste europeiske land og Australia.Størst var det vel I 1998, da jeg fikk dømme puli på CRUFTs som den første nordmann på denne store utstillingen . i tillegg til flere verdens utstillinger.
Jeg har hatt gleden av å være aktiv innen klubb arbeide som raseklubber og NKK , og ikke minst har det vært hyggelig å forelese om de ungarske rasene , som er min store passion både i Norge ,Sverige og Danmark ved flere anledninger. Da jeg ble pensjonist ville jeg ha mindre raser så nå har jeg mops og dverg puddel to herlige raser de osgå.

I 2025 fyller jeg 75 år og da har jeg bestemt meg får å slutte å dømme, jeg er ikke gått lei av å dømme hunder men grundig lei av lange og ofte kompliserte reiser til og fra utstillinger. Nå vil jeg bruke mer tid på kjæreste, venner, familie og ikke minst egne hunder. Store Stockholm blir derfor den siste utstillingen jeg dømmer.

My involvement in dogs goes back to 1959 when our family bought our first dog, a German shepherd. We bred and showed German shepherds for 10 years before we imported our first Pembroke corgi from England.

We had a very successful start with our new breed as our first Pembroke ended up as Dog of the Year all breeds in Norway 1968. Since then we have made up more than 150 homebred national champions, and 40 international, and also many champions in other countries, many world and section winners, as well as numerous group and best in show winners.

Our most famous dog, Int.Ch. Siggens’s Hi Fi, who was Dog of the Year all breeds in Norway in 1983, was the first imported Pembroke ever to win a CC in England.
We started breeding Pembrokes with short tails in 1989 when Norway as the first country in the world introduced the docking ban. It took us about ten years to come back to the quality we bred before the docking ban, but are quite proud to say that bobtails bred by us have been made up champions in the major corgi countries like England, USA, Australia, Russia and all over Europe, and have won many groups and BIS and competing among the top dogs all breeds in Norway for many years. Our kennel received the Norwegian Kennel Clubs top breeders award in 2002 the first year it was awarded.

In my younger days I used to handle many different breeds for other people. In addition to making up champions in my two main breeds, I have made up champions in poodles, boxers, rottweilers, doberman, keeshonds, whippets, golden retrievers, labrador retrievers.

I have held all different positions in the Norsk Welsh Corgi Klubb, and have received the clubs honorary award “the docked tails order” for my work. I have served on the Norwegian Kennel Klub general committee from 1996 – 2006.I was chairman of the NKK committee for judging education and examinations for 20 years and the representative for the NKK in the FCI committee for judging education for the same period. I have received NKK’s golden award for my work.

In February 2006 I was elected President of the FCI Show Commission and resigned in 2014.

I have been on the committee of the Norwegian Dog Judges Associations for many years, also chairman for three years. and have received their golden honor for my work. I have been an FCI judge since 1976, and was passed as an FCI All Breed Judge in 2010. I have judged at breed specialties in many breeds in many countries, among which many corgi specialties in England, USA, Russia, Poland, Finland, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Germany, Chech Republic, Slovenia, Italy etc. I regularly judge at the major shows all around the world, among them I have judged at many World and Section Shows, Crufts, Sydney Royal etc.

Som sex åring fick min första valp. Min mamma läste allt hon kom över om Tibet så när vi skulle välja ras så var det utan tvekan en tibetansk tempelhund vi skulle ha. Det blev min första Shih-Tzu och året var 1968. Intresset för hundar och utställningar var väckt. Den passionen håller i sig och idag finns det två äldre hanar i hemmet. Jag har varit delägare i kennel Popeyes Shih-Tzu tillsammans med Charlotte Wistad.

Intresset för vinthundar har alltid varit stort och 2010 kom vår första Saluki till oss från kennel Qirmizi.

Kom med på preparandkursen 2016 och har sedan utbildat mig framför allt inom grupp 9 och har samtliga raser i grupp 10. Jag är fortfarande en flitig utställare själv.

Jag hade den stora äran att döma rasen på Tibethunds 50 års jubileum 2022 och ser nu fram emot att få döma på Shih-Tzu på Stockholms hundmässa i år.

I have been in close contact with a dog since I was born. Though at that time, my parents had a pet dog. When he passed away my parents agreed to have a Boxer as for all of us it was the nicest breed in the world. So I got my first pure bred Boxer when I was 12 years old. I was lucky to get a nice show dog, so I got very enthusiastic about showing and training. Since that dogs occupy a large part, if not the largest, of my life. 

For many years I have bred Boxers and have been Chairman of Latvian Boxer Club 1981-1995. At present I am the happy owner of 2 Cavalier King Charles Spaniel males and 1 Golden Retriever male. Before becoming a Dog show judge I was a trainee and judge for general obedience and special trials. In 1982 I become a Dog show judge and gradually stopped training dogs. Since 2012 all-breed judge. 

By profession I am an engineer mathematician, but now I work for Latvian Cynological Federation as Bureau administrator and I am also member of the Board, previously also chairman of Judges Committee.

I have judged in most European countries as well as Argentina, Australia, Canada, China, Colombia, Guatemala, Indonesia, Japan, South Korea, Malaysia, Peru, Philippines, Thailand, Uruguay. 

I have had also the honor to judge at several World and European Dog Shows. 

For me it is very important to see not only nice looking dogs in my rings, but also healthy and with good temperament.

Besides judging I love also to read books and travel.

Jag har levt ett ”hundliv” ända sedan jag var barn och fick tjatat mig till en första egen hund, som blev en dvärgtax och inte en boxer som jag helst ville ha. Från unga tonår sommarjobbade jag på kennlar och gick Blå Stjärnans kurser om hund och häst.

Min första valpkull föddes 1975 och jag födde upp långhårig tax (först dvärgtax) i nästan 40 år under kennelnamnet Hound’s innan domaruppdragen tog överhanden. Jag blev auktoriserad exteriördomare 2005 efter att ha varit viltspårdomare och ringsekreterare i några år.

Parallellt med taxintresset har jag alltid haft en stor fascination för vinthundar och det blev inom den gruppen jag först vidareutbildade mig. Jag har levt med fem olika vinthundsraser och delar nu mitt liv med en whippet.

Efter några år som journalist inom dagspressen hamnade jag på Svenska Jägareförbundet och har arbetat med olika publikationer där fram till pensionen. Tack vare mitt jobb växte kunskapen om och intresset för jagande hundraser och jag dömer nu även hela grupp 6. Terrier har också funnits nära tack vare vänner och jag har haft förmånen att vidareutbilda mig även på den gruppen.

Jag ser väldigt mycket fram emot att få döma min ursprungsras tax på Stockholms Hundmässa, liksom flera vinthundsraser och finalen i grupp 10.

Djuren är den röda tråden genom mitt liv och hundar har gett mig de första riktiga starka positiva minnena jag har. Uppväxten kantades av en rad olika raser från riesenschnauzer, vorsteh, bullmastiff till lahsa apso och några fler. Att djur fått fortsätta att färga av sig på min person ser jag som bland det bästa som hänt mig.

Många fantastiska möten med olika arter via arbeten jag haft, från delfiner till giraffer och därtill få ynnesten av att lära känna många av djurindividerna och deras personligheter har gjort mig till den person jag är idag.

Alltid har det stått en eller fler hundar vid min sida – vid flytten från föräldrahemmet i slutet av 80-talet kom min första pudel in i livet och det är en ras som fortfarande finns med mig. Den franska bulldoggen har jag anslutit sen 20 år och har också fått ta plats i familjen sedan en tid, en härlig mix av de två raserna – så olika men ändå lika.

Idag bedriver jag en liten uppfödning, det är en härlig utmaning och intresse – livet blir aldrig trist. Till vardags arbetar jag som yrkeslärare och undervisar gymnasieelever inom djurvård mot djurparksdjur och sällskapsdjur inklusive hund. Utställningslivet har upptagit min fritid under lång tid – och är fortfarande lika skoj. Min domargärning startat sedan 2016, jag är stolt att få vara här i Stockholm.

I started showing dogs in 1978 and got my first saluki in 1985.

I bred my first litter in 1993. Some of the most successful dogs would include Qirmizi Cartago who was one of Sweden’s top dogs for some years, Qirmizi Global Temptress who one year was one of Norway’s top winning dogs and in 2011 was number 1 all breeds in Denmark.

In 1990 I imported Baghdad Globetrotter from Australia. He was Sweden’s top Saluki several for years in a row in the 90-ties. His son Shiraz California Dreamin’ is the most successful dog I've ever owned. He was BIS at the European Winner show in 2010 as well as BIS at the worldshow in Salzburg 2012. He was also Sweden’s topwinning dog in 2009 and 2011.

In more recent time I've imported Elamir Gypsy Power from Portugal and he was top saluki and top dog all breeds in 2022.

I am a member of the board of Östergötlands Kennel Club and helps organize dog shows for them. I was previously a member of the board of the Swedish Sighthound club/ West and organized several breed conferences for the Swedish Saluki club.

I became a judge in 2003 and am judging all breeds in FCI group 10, pharao hounds, american cockers, english cockers and english springer spaniels. I have judged in most European countries, Australia, USA and Japan.

This will be the first time I am judging at Stockholm’s Hundmässa and I'm very honoured to be invited and is very much looking forward to this assignment.

Min hundhistoria startade när jag var ung. I min familj fanns tibetansk spaniel och dvärgpinscher – som sällskapshundar. Mitt intresse för schnauzer startade när jag flyttade hemifrån och då, 1972, köpte en riesenhane från kennel Galax. Ett år senare köpte jag också en tik, då från kennel Myrkarby. Båda dessa hundar var efter Riesengårdens XO, den tidens stora stjärna och blev också själva champions. Under slutet av 70-talet hade jag två riesenkullar varav några av valparna meriterade sig på olika sätt.

1975 köpte jag min första dvärgschnauzer, en peppar och salt-hane som ursprungligen kom från USA. Med tiden blev det fler ”dvärgar”, bland annat fyra från USA och fyra från England. Efter det har jag också importerat från Ungern och Spanien.
Under ett tiotal år hade jag också svart mellanschnauzer och startade med en svart tik från England.

Min uppfödarkarriär började 1975 och mitt kennelnamn är Impact´s.
För min uppfödning av dvärgschnauzer, som resulterade i ett antal champions och där några också blev grundsten hos ett par andra uppfödare, har jag erhållit SSPK:s uppfödarmedalj.

Sedan lång tid tillbaka hyser jag också ett stort intresse för affenpinscher och köpte min första ”affen”, en hane, 1990. Numera har jag en begränsad uppfödning av affenpinscher.

1987 kom jag in på domarutbildningen och samma år blev jag auktoriserad på schnauzer och pinscher. Efter detta har jag fortsatt att utveckla mig och studerat nya raser, med början inom grupperna 1 och 2.

För drygt 17 år sedan var jag en av fem domare som av SKK/CS erbjöds möjligheten att utbilda mig till allrounddomare. Detta känner jag mig mycket hedrad och stolt över eftersom jag alltid varit intresserad av att utveckla och bredda mitt hundkunnande. Sedan 2006 är jag auktoriserad FCI allrounder.

Jag har haft förmånen att förutom i de nordiska länderna inkl. Island, fått döma i ett stort antal länder i Europa inkl. England, Irland och Malta, samt i Ryssland, Kazakstan, Japan, Kina, Thailand, Malaysia, Indien, Australien, Nya Zeeland, Sydamerika, Sydafrika, USA och Canada.

Jag har i många år varit verksam i olika hundklubbar, till exempel Örebro Läns Kennelklubb, Uppsala Läns kennelklubb, Riesenschnauzer-klubben och Svenska Schnauzer-Pincherklubben där jag var ordförande i 10 år. Jag har också i mer än 20 år varit ledamot i SKKs Domarkommitté. Under de senaste 10 åren har jag varit ledamot i Affenpinscherklubben, merparten som ordförande. Jag har också under drygt 20 år varit lärare för blivande och nya domare. För dessa föreningsengagemang har jag fått Kennelklubbens förtjänsttecken i guld.

I got my first dog, a Wire Fox Terrier in the year 1961 and started all the activities like obedience training, underground hunting training and shows. Then five years later I purchased a bitch and my first litter of Wires was born in 1968. My first Smooth Fox Terrier was born in 1970, and the first Smooth litter was born in 1972. Both of these foundation bitches are still found in the pedigrees of my present dogs in 13-16 generations back. I have also had and bred English Springer Spaniels and Long-haired Standard Dachshunds.

I took part in club activities from the beginning and became a ring steward soon.
I was on the basic education for judges in 1976 and twenty years later I was qualified as an all-breed judge. I have judged in 50 different countries on all the continents and in many prestigious shows like the FCI World and European Winner Shows, Australian Royal Shows and Crufts etc.
