Having been involved in dogs since my childhood, in our family we have had German Sheperds for 25 years.  I was 13 years old when I attended the first dog show with my very first Chow-Chow. It was the start of a dream, to breed Chows and later on I established my own kennel: Majestic Sandial affix. Since that time I have shown my Chow-Chows with success and I am proud to have achieved many Championship titles in different countries, BIS and Group placements, the offsprings exported also having successful show careers in Europe and overseas. Having one of my dogs in Top Ten Dogs of the Year in Romania is a particular highlight.
I have had for a long time close contact with some of the Terrier breeds, achieving experience in show trainig and grooming. The Terriers represent one of my greatest passion and for a couple of years I have been breeding Cairn Terriers. My very first Cairn Terrier is a gorgeous bitch, who achieved some impressive results in a short perioud of time: European Winner, European Junior Winner, BISS, International Champion and finished six Championships ( one of them in Helsinki Winner shows) up until the age of two years old.  My career as a judge started in 2016 and since then I had the pleasure to judge in countries as Romania, Germany, Denmark, Poland, Hungary, Sweden and for the first time now in Finland at the great Helsinki Winner shows- what an honour!  My everyday occupation is that of a professional groomer and I run the most succesfull grooming salon in my hometown and not only. As I have been working a lot with the toy breeds since 2011 and been acquiring experience with them, it determined me to take another step and study on a higher level so a few years ago I had started to extend my competences as a judge for breeds from group IX.  
I am an International FCI judge and am approved for the breeds from FCI groups III, V and IX. Proud to be on Interra Judges list as well.  I’m also a board member of Asociatia Chinologica a jud. Mures ( the local Kennel Club),  board member of The National Terrier Club of Romania and board member of the Romanian breeders college.
