Mr. Joachim Bartusch, Germany
For almost 30 years, I have had the pleasure of working with purebred dogs.
It all started with a Whippet, a breed to which I have remained loyal ever since.
Under the kennel name ”of Gentle Mind,” my partner, son, and I have been successfully breeding Whippets and, for the past few years, Lagotto Romagnolos.
Over the years, we have been fortunate enough to win countless championships, daily titles, and other accolades.
Among the highlights are certainly the English Championship, several French Championships, and being named Best of Breed in many countries, including Germany, France, Ireland, and Italy, as well as winning Best of Breed in Belgium and France.
As a judge for more than 20 breeds, I have had the honor of judging multiple times in the Netherlands, Finland, Sweden, Denmark, Norway, the Czech Republic, Poland, Luxembourg, France, Italy, and Ireland. In 2017, I was fortunate enough to judge the 5th National in Melbourne, Australia, and also to award the CC (Contested Certificate) in England. I’m looking forward to Finland and its exhibitors!
Mr. Jean-Christophe Boulinguez, Canada
Jean-Christophe Boulinguez has been involved with purebred dogs and the Whippet breed since 1998 when his parents bought their first whippet from Patricia Miller of Woodsmoke Whippets in Canada. After graduating college in 2008, while still involved with Whippets, Mr. Boulinguez wanted to experience other hound breeds and acquired an Ibizan Hound named James, MBIS MBISS Am CH/Can GCHEX Harehill Goes All In, a dog that that ended up stealing his heart and made the breed become a true passion.
Before becoming a judge, Mr. Boulinguez started in the dog world as a junior handler, working with professional handlers and then got experienced with numerous breeds as semi-professional handler for about 10 years, mainly specializing in Hounds and Toys breeds. Mr Boulinguez currently breeds Ibizan Hounds under the Requiem prefix, he has also cobred Whippets with his mother under the Interlude prefix for about 20 years and also co-breeds Wire-haired Pointing Griffons (Korthal) under the DuValin prefix with Ms Aline Tremblay.
Multiple dogs owned and bred by Mr Boulinguez have won All-Breed Best in Shows, Specialty Best In Shows, majors awards at Canadian and American National Specialties, as well as the prestigious Westminster Kennel Club.
Mr. Boulinguez has always had an affection for different breeds and over the years, other than Ibizans, Whippets and Wire-Haired Pointing Griffons, he has owned over the years an Italian Greyhound, a Pharaoh Hound, a Samoyed, a Grand Basset Griffon Vendeen and an English Bulldog.
He currently is one the youngest licensed judge in North America and has judged across Canada and the United States as well as in Argentina, France, Japan, Germany, Switzerland and Mexico. As of 2026, he is approved to judge 5 of the 7 Canadian Kennel Club groups which represents breeds across FCI groups 3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10

Ms. Hanna Wozna-Gil, Poland
I began my adventure with pedigree dogs and dog shows in 1996 when the first irish wolfhound female arrived at my home. After several years I imported a few more wolfhounds and deerhounds from leading kennels in Europe.
I have been breeding successfully these two breeds under ”Festina” kennel name for 25 years gaining the champion, interchampion, club winner, specialty winner, breed congress winner titles, European & World Sighthound Cup Winners and also European Winner title. Among the most unforgettable moments was winning World Winner title with my Chart Polski in Poznan in 2006 where the numer of entries in the breed reached the never beaten record of over 80 dogs. Nowadays I share my life with wolfhounds and whippets.
My experience as a breeder was appreciated by the Polish Kennel Club and I was rewarded bronze, silver and gold badge. I was also invited to join breeding comission by Polish Kennel Club..
