I began my adventure with pedigree dogs and dog shows in 1996 when the first Irish Wolfhound female arrived at my home. After several years I imported a few more wolfhounds and deerhounds. I have been breeding successfully these two breeds under ”Festina” kennel name for almost 25 years gaining the champion, interchampion, club winner, specialty winner, congress winner titles, European & World Sighthound Cup Winners and also European Winner title. Among the most unforgettable moments was winning World Winner title with my Chart Polski in Poznan in 2006 where the number of entries in the breed reached the never beaten record of over 80 dogs. Nowadays I share my life with wolfhounds and whippets whose character and playful nature fascinate me more and more.

I have been cynological judge since 2008 and I am authorised to judge all breeds from group IV, V, VIII, X, non-recognized breeds and Junior Handling competition on international level. So far I have judged at many prestigious dog shows in Poland and other European countries. Recently I have also become more engaged into sighthound racing and coursing and I am on my way to be authorised to judge both sighthound races and lure coursing. I relax best in the company of dogs and horses. I really enjoy walking with dogs and watching them playing as well as riding a horse. Sharing my life with animals brings me joy and satisfaction, and makes my life complete.
