FCI Judge group 4, 8 and 10.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My name is Ale\u0161 Novak and I started sharing my active life with dogs (whippets) in&nbsp;1992, when my Karstia kennel was established. I have always kept good friendly&nbsp;contacts with best breeders in the UK and other parts of Europe and World. I spent so&nbsp;many learning days with best whippet breeders from England and Italy on the&nbsp;beginning of my Whippet career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From 1992 i had 34 whippet litters and many of my<br>puppies became champions. My Karstia Whippets got 16 Best in Show Tittles and 49&nbsp;Best of group tittles.&nbsp;We established Slovenian Sighthound Club more than 32 years ago. Member of&nbsp;Slovenian Sighthound club board, breeding comitee and president of show comitee&nbsp;for more than 20 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I am International FCI judge for all Sighthounds, Dachshunds, Spaniels, Retrievers and&nbsp;Water dogs from 2001. I judged many International, national and special shows all&nbsp;around Europe and Australia. Last year I started to do also group FCI 9.&nbsp;I am in love with dogs and i always respect exhibitors, that\u2019s why i have always big&nbsp;entry at any show. The biggest Whippet entry I had in Sweden- 189 dogs ( what is still&nbsp;record entry) and in Australia- 185 dogs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Always come and judge seriously,&nbsp;unburdened and with honour. Every time I judge any breed I am licensed for by FCI, I&nbsp;try my best to choose the best quality dogs in my opinion, regardless of achievements&nbsp;of the dogs from previous dog shows. That is why I am never under pressure of&nbsp;knowing who the leading show dog is or who handles it in the show ring.&nbsp;What judge friends, show organizers and exhibitors said many times about me:&nbsp;friendly to dogs and people, knowledge, eye for a good dog and proper moving,&nbsp;dynamic sporty person with wide open mind...<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thanks for your trust and I hope we will spend a nice time together.<br>Ale\u0161 Novak- Karstia Slovenia<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ale\u0161 Novak, Slovenia Graduated from Economics, Professional photographer, Slo.
