I was born and raised in Novi Sad, Yugoslavia, but since 2000 I´ve been living in Budapest, Hungary. 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´ve been very passionate about the beauty, character, speed, and power of all sighthound breeds. I´ve been breeding Afghan hounds for 15 years and I had 13 litters under the kennel name “Ben Ben’s”.
25 years ago I discovered a very special breed – Sloughi. I found the breed to be perfect for me. Since then, I´ve been actively showing the breed on dog shows and participating with my Sloughies in the lure coursing.
My judging career began in 1991 when I became a judge for all breeds in FCI group 10. I completed exams for FCI groups 1, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 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 was re-elected for the next 5 years – until 2027. Judging assignments have taken me to many prestigious shows around the world. I judged at national and international shows, Royal shows (Adelaide and Melbourne) and national specialty show in Australia, European dog show, World dog show, BIS at famous Orlando Cluster shows in the USA, European Lure coursing championships, and club specialties in more than 35 countries across Europe, Australia, Asia, and North America. I‘m actively taking part in education programs for dog shows and Lure coursing judges in the Hungarian kennel club and abroad, including presenting at club seminars.
Apart from my native Serbian-Croatian language, I am fluent in Hungarian, German, and English.
