GYORGY TESICS

Dr György Tesics, Hungary

I was born and raised in Novi Sad, Yugoslavia, but since 2000  I have been living in Budapest, Hungary.

As for my profession, I run a dental clinic in Budapest, where I work as a specialist in Periodontology and oral medicine.

Ever since my first Afghan hound in 1986, I have been very passionate about the beauty, character, speed, and power of all sighthound breeds.

I have been breeding Afghan hounds for 15 years and I had 13 litters under the kennel name Ben Ben’s, FCI 2233.  Some 25 years ago I discovered a very special breed – Sloughi. I found the breed to be perfect for me. Since then, I have been actively exhibiting the breed on dog shows and participating with my Sloughies on the lure coursing.

My judging career began in 1991, when I became a judge for all breeds in FCI group 10. Along the way I completed exams for FCI groups 1, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10. In 2020 I was approved to judge BIS, and in 2003 I also became a judge for Lure Coursing.

Finally, in 2017 I became a member of the Board of Judges Association of the Hungarian Kennel Club and in 2022 I have been re-elected for the next 5 years - until 2027.

Judging assignments have taken me to many prestigious shows around the world. I have judged dogs on national and international shows, Royal and National specialty show in Australia, European dog show, BIS at famous Orlando Cluster shows in USA, European Lure coursing championships and club specialties in more than 35 countries across Europe, Australia, Asia, and North America.

I am actively taking part in education programs for dog shows and Lure coursing judges in Hungarian kennel club and abroad, including presenting at club seminars about following topics:

-Mandibula angusta and Invert canines – narrow underjaw at dogs,

-Measurements of sizes for Lure Coursing Licence - Whippets and Italian Greyhounds,

-The origin of the European sighthound breeds - morphological similarities and differences

Apart from my native Serbian language I am fluent in Hungarian, German, and English.
