CZECH REPUBLIC

• My work as a judge started in 2015 and I became international judge for FCI group 1 & 2. I am also a judge for the competition of junior handling. I had the honour to judge in the Czech Republik, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Italy, Latvia, Norway, Poland, Austria, Russia, Slovakia and Switzerland.
• Since 2008, I work as a breeding advisor
• Since 2018 I am also the President of Czech Saint Bernard Club.
• Leonberger is a breed that is very close to me and I really like it. Not only because the St. Bernard dog named Barry took part in the begining of the breed. The Leonberger is also the first breed that I judged, after the St. Bernards. I had the honor to judge this breed not only at international and national dog shows here in the Czech Republic but also in foreinght countries. I already judged 8 Club and Specialty shows in the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Latvia too. It is a great honor to judge the IULH Leonberger World Championship 2025 in Poland.
• There were always Saint Bernards in our family. My father and grandfather were also a breeders of this breed and that is also a reason why I fell in love with Saints since my childhood and I’m still faithful to this breed. I found my own kennel with prefix „od Strrazcu hor” in 2005 and since that time we had almost 60 litters of Saint Bernards. I bred cca 80 dogs which are champions and junior champions, 30 inter champions, a several World winners and European winners and also few WUSB winners. 2 of my own bred St. Bernards won the title BIS of WUSB Show (World Union of St. Bernards). The dogs from my kennel are living in the 26 countries around the world. I show my dogs more than 20 years in the Europe.
