Judge CV
I bought my first hound ever in 1974. It was an Afghan Hound bitch already from Slovak breeding. In the times of communism conditions for breeding were much curtailed. We could travel only to Hungary and Poland. Other European countries were for people from Czechoslovakia inaccessible. In 1978 the first litter with which we started the GANDAMAK breeding was born.
The breeding conditions changed distinctly after the communism regime fell. We could travel. Our horizons in the Afghan Hound breed have broadened. And in particular and most importantly, we could travel to some larger shows where we could see more Afghans than in our country.
To summarize it; in our kennel we have bred 105 International Champions and 567 national champions from 40 countries around the world.
Then our dogs won titles:
- World Winner 1995, 1996, 2006, 2015, 2021 & 2023
- Vice World Winner 1996, 2003, 2010, 2021 & 2023
- Junior World Winner 2000 & 2015
- Junior European Winner 2018 & 2019
- Veteran World Winner 2009, 2012 & 2x 2023
- Europa Winner 1993, 2003, 2005, 2007, 2012, 2013 & 2021
- Slovak Champion of Champions 1996, 1999, 2001, 2003 & 2006.
- Czech Champion of Champions
- Hungarian Champion of Champions
My career as a judge started in 1980 when I started with judging Afghan Hounds. Then in 1985 I became a judge for the whole FCI Group 10. Since 2000 I have started to extend my judging scope to other breeds. So, to this day I am judging the following breeds:
