About me :-)

My passion for animals has been with me practically forever. For many years, dogs have been not only a part of my life but also a source of constant learning, development, and daily experience. The more I learn about them, the more I realize how much more there is to learn.

I completed a 5.5-year degree at the Faculty of Animal Breeding and Biology, where I gained knowledge in genetics, breeding, biology, and the functioning of animal organisms, among other areas. Later, I also completed postgraduate studies in cynology and cynological psychology. All this to better understand dogs—their behavior, psyche, needs, structure, and functioning.

For over 25 years, dogs have been an important part of my life. During this time, I have participated in numerous cynological courses, training sessions, and events, and collaborated with trainers, breeders, and specialists in cynology and animal breeding. I continue to learn and develop because I believe that in this field, there is never a moment when you can say, "I know it all."

Breeding was a natural next step for me. It didn't begin with the idea of ​​"producing puppies," but rather with a fascination with the breed, a need to learn more about it, and a desire to make informed breeding decisions.

The Appenzeller Sennenhund holds a special place in my life. It's a breed that captivated me with its character, intelligence, temperament, and extraordinary personality. I strive to learn as much as possible about it—not only through the lens of the modern FCI standard or dog shows, but also its history and original purpose. I draw on original publications about the breed from 1914, 1950, and 1966, among others, because I believe that to properly understand the breed today, it's important to know where it comes from and what it has been like over the decades.

As a cynological assistant, I gain experience in the ring and constantly expand my knowledge of dogs' anatomy, movement, and breed type. This is another part of my cynological journey, which allows me to view dogs with an ever broader perspective and also translates into my approach to breeding.

My love for the Appenzeller has also given rise to my own little "Appenzeller World"—a shop created out of passion for this unique breed.

My dogs, however, are above all a part of my daily life. They live with me, accompany me, teach me, sometimes test my patience, and very often simply make it difficult to imagine life without them.

I work with people every day—and perhaps that's why I value their honesty, character, and naturalness so much in dogs.

For me, Appenzellers aren't just a breed I breed. They've become a huge part of my life.
