About me:

 

My beginnings in cynology were connected with the breeds of German Shepherd, Dobermann, and Alaskan Malamute, which I owned as a high school student. After finishing my studies, I got my first Rottweiler, with which I started my activities in cynology as an exhibitor and also as a dog handler at performance exams. My FCI kennel, “BUSAN MAR-ŠI,” was established in 1998. In 2001, I got my first Bullmastiff, with which, in addition to show successes, I passed the exams to become an assistant - canistherapist. I was also actively involved in canistherapy and visited institutions for physically and mentally ill children, children in a coma, and children with autism.

I turned my knowledge into publications about canistherapy, which were published in Slovak cynological publications and are still used in the teaching of canistherapy at high schools and universities. My publications about the Rottweiler and Bullmastiff breeds, as well as articles about the history of dog breeds and the origin of Molossers, are also well known. These articles were published in all cynological magazines in Slovakia, such as “Kynologická revue,” “Náš pes,” “Pes a mačka,” “Život so psom,” and others.

I have worked as the secretary of the Molosser SK Club and as a breeding advisor for the Bullmastiff breed. I co-founded Bullmastiff Club SK in 2015 and am still the chairman of its board of directors. I'm also active in the “Rottweiler Club of Slovakia,” where I'm the chairman of the supervisory board, and in the “Slovak Club of Nordic and Japanese dog breeds,” where I'm a committee member and breeding advisor for all Japanese breeds covered by this club. I'm also a member of the committee for sled dogs, and since 2019, I´ve been a judge for judging performance exams for sled dogs on 2nd degree. In 2018, I was awarded a bronze medal and, in 2023, a silver medal from the Slovak Cynological Union for developing the Slovak cynology.

I greatly appreciate the support of the clubs covered by the Union of Cynological Clubs, where I´ve been elected as a member of the Presidium of the ÚKK for the second term.

I currently own two Rottweilers and five Bullmastiffs.

I became a judge in 2014, and today, I judge all breeds from FCI groups II and V and some breeds from the I FCI group. I´ve judged several international, national, and club shows in Serbia, Poland, Hungary, the Czech Republic, Ireland, Russia, and, of course, Slovakia. I'm a specialist for molossers, which are very close to me. I had the honor to judge the Rottweiler breed in 2021 at the World Dog Show in Brno.

Currently, I'm expanding my approvals to breeds from the I FCI group and Slovak national breeds.

I am very happy to have been invited to judge at the European Dog Show in Brno. It is a great honor for me.
