Here is what the judge says about herself:
My
name is Dr Julia Pataki and I am a veterinarian. I am founding member of the
Pointer Club in Hungary and have been committee member for several years, at
the moment I hold the position of breeding advisor. I have had pointers since
my school days and started to attend shows already with my first dog, later on
I became an enthusiast of field trials too. My first litter was born 10 years
ago. Besides the nice aristocratic looks I strive for health and temperament in
breeding. My aim is to breed pointers that are not only show dogs but also nice
companions to their owners for long years. I try to take these things into
consideration even while judging. I consider it also very important that
besides beauty and good temperament, the dogs should have the instinct required
for field work. The dogs I own all hold the title of BIS at clubshows, given by
breed specialists in big competition. All of them have field trial results too.
Their progeny is doing very well all over the world. With one my own dogs I
obtained 2nd in open and 1st in special working gundog classes at Crufts. One
of her daughters repeated this achievement some years later and also became
World and European Winner. Though my breed is the pointer, through my friends I
have followed the setter breeds from the beginning.
We have seen many happy faces again.
We have seen many gorgeous dogs in the ring and outside.
We had great time together no matter what.
And....yes, we had great biscuits for the dogs and their owners and delicious coffee again this year! :) If you haven't tried them yet - you have a chance for year 2014!
Best In Show winner of Setter Show 2013 is LOFTY LADY GAGA (owner I.Mečionyte, Lithuania)!
