GABRIELA RIDARČIKOVA

As an FCI international all-round judge, I was honored to judge multiple times at the World and European Dog Shows. My love for dogs also affected my decision to become a veterinary doctor. I've had fantastic dogs by my side all my life, and they've always been my best friends. I experienced unforgettable moments of joy and happiness with them. On August 17th, 1975, my FCI kennel, "z Tomky," was founded. My beginnings were connected with my favorite breed, the Boxers. My big dream became a reality in the late 80s, and finally, the beautiful breed of Dobermann proudly walked by my side. We bred many international champions and champions of different countries. But for me, the most important and beautiful feeling is that puppies from us are making happy and better lives of many people.

Currently, I am a member of the Presidium of the Slovak Kennel Club, the chairman of the board of judges in SKJ, the vice-president of the Union of Kennel Clubs, a delegate of the SKJ in the FCI judges commission, and the president of the Slovak Dobermann Club.

It is a great honor for me to judge at the World Dog Show 2024 in Zagreb, and I appreciate the invitation a lot to this important cynological event.
