Whole my life has been connected to the love of dogs. My beloved father Jozef Šuster has established boxer kennel „Fender Edda“ in 1985. After marrying my mother Jana they´ve started breeding together. A few years later I was born and somehow I became a pure dog lover. Spending free time in the company of our females with their babies in the whelping room, practicing obedience with adults, and walks were on my everyday list to-do.
As time had been going on, I always attended dog shows with my parents, and sometimes I get the opportunity to handle our puppies or not so „crazy ones“ in the show rings. One day, at age of my 8th years, I was discovered by a famous Slovak breeder of welsh springer spaniels, who asked me to be part of their show team. It was a really big pleasure and honor to be seen with them. I attended many shows abroad with family of Mrs. Jana Janek, who had suggested me to participate in the Junior handling competition. As an ambitious young girl, I agreed. This decision, the big support of my parents, and knowledges of my father every time I asked, opened my doors in active cynology.
After my second year of participating in Junior handling competitions around Europe I became „TOP JUNIOR HANDLER of Slovakia“which nominated me to be a Slovak representative at big events, such as World or European dog shows, but also at Crufts. It is a dream for almost every junior handler to get there, to be among the best junior handlers in the world! And this happened possible for me several times.
Thanks to this competition and years of breeding chihuahuas I got many many pieces of knowledge of dogs. At age of my compeeting in Junior handling, we had to know not only how to handle, but also to understand show rules and to know the anatomy of dogs. For me the decision was clear – one day I want to be the judge as my father is. And my other dream came true when in 2017 I passed my judging exams successfully after years of studying, learning, and preparing.
I am an international judge for several breeds and junior handling and had the opportunity to judge not only in Slovakia but abroad as well and not only international dog shows but boxer clubs too. One of the biggest dream in my judging career was to judge the ATIBOX World boxer show and this dream came true in 2021, when i belonged to the 8 judges judging this biggest boxer event of the year in Hungary. The Central European Boxer show was added to the "list" as well.
Nowadays with my husband, we breed boxers together with my parents in kennel Fender Edda. My husband and I are also leaders of the Junior handling club in Slovakia and we decided to dedicate our lives to dogs, exactly how my parents have done.
