Dogs have accompanied me in my life since childhood. The first purebred dog – medium Black Poodle – became a member of our family when I was 12 years old. Next was a female German Shepherd, followed by a Chihuahua breed and Flat Coated Retriever. I´ve been engaged in active breeding for 25 years.
Since 1990, I ´ve worked in the commitee, and in the years 1999-2009, I was the chairman of the Club of breeders of Chihuahuas, Peruvian Hairless dogs  and Chinese Crested dogs. In the years 1999 – 2007, I held the position of vice president of CMKU. In 1996, I became a judge for Chihuahua, Chinese Crested dogs, and Peruvian Hairless dogs, now  I am judging all FCI breeds. I had the honor to judge at several European and World Dog Shows. I judged in 22 European countries. Cynology has become and is a part of my live and is my lifelong hobby.
