MARKO BUBALO

 I was born in 1973 in Rijeka in dogy family.

I was keen on hunting dogs always, so that in mid-80 our family expanded for one member, which was an English Cocker Spaniel who founded my love towards the cynology. I became active in the cynology in late 80’s, as a member of SKK Rijeka. In that same club I gained first experience by volunteering and organizing various events.

I continued to educate myself further and I got my judging license firstly for breeds of FCI Group VIII (judge from 1993) and later for FCI Group VII and IV as well as part of Group II and Dalmatian. I am also licensed to judge work of Pointing dogs and Spaniels.

I used to visit many shows abroad, especially in UK, where I first saw the breed which I decided to have myself. It was a Clumber Spaniel which we get in 1993 and since then my love towards this wonderful breed is constantly increasing.

My dogs have won many national and international titles, group placements and BIS. but they are primarily my pets.

Now I have 6 Clumbers which I am co-owning together with my sister. My kennel prefix is HROTHGAR’S which is co-owned with my sister.

In 2010, we imported Hungarian Viszla, a breed completely different in character but which brought a lot of life into our family.

I have judged on various events in Croatia, Slovenia, Austria, Italy, Finland and San Marino.
