SALVADOR JANEIRO (PT)

I was born in Alentejo, a nostalgic and beautiful region in the south of Portugal, sparsely populated, with wide open landscapes where the land stretches flat and golden wheat fields shimmer under the scorching summer sun. This is the homeland of the beloved Rafeiro do Alentejo. The breed remains very popular in the region, and my grandparents themselves owned and bred Rafeiros do Alentejo.

However, my story as a breeder began with a Dobermann! One day, I decided to bring home a Dobermann puppy. At the time, the breed was considered dangerous, and few would accept having such a dog living in a house with children.

I decided to bring the puppy home under the pretext that I had rescued it from the street — the most acceptable excuse to make the dog welcome. The next step was to get the family on board and begin breeding under the name CASA BRANCA Kennel.

As a breeder, I earned several awards with both Dobermanns and Portuguese Water Dogs. I received the Trophy for Best Iberian Breeder of Portuguese and Spanish breeds.

In 1986, when I became a judge, I stopped exhibiting dogs myself. My last Miniature Pinscher litter was in 2011, after which I ceased breeding.

I have judged in numerous countries across Europe and the world: Belgium, Belarus, Croatia, Denmark, England, Estonia, Finland, France, the Netherlands, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Norway, Romania, Russia, Serbia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Ukraine, Poland, Armenia, Kazakhstan, Thailand, USA (multiple states), Johannesburg, Brazil, India, Saudi Arabia.

My CV includes significant achievements: European Championship (Portugal); World Championship (Portugal; Finland); Winner Championship (Stockholm and Helsinki); Estonian Champion of Champions 2018; Irish Pup of the Year 2018; Irish Champion of Champions 2024; Finnish Champion of Champions 2025.

I am the author of several opinion and research articles related to the canine world and I am fluent in Spanish, French and English.

Since 2009, I have served as the Technical Director of the Braga dog shows.

HANNA WOŹNA-GIL (PL)

I started my journey with purebred dogs and dog shows in 1996, when the first female Irish Wolfhound joined my household.

Over the years, I imported several more Wolfhounds and Deerhounds. I have been successfully breeding these two breeds under the kennel name "Festina" for almost 25 years, achieving national and international champion titles, club champion titles, specialty show wins, breed congress titles, European and World Sighthound Cup titles, as well as European Winner awards.

One of the most memorable moments of my career was winning the World Winner title with my Chart Polski in Poznań in 2006, where a record-breaking number of more than 80 dogs were entered in the breed.

Today, I share my life with Wolfhounds and Whippets, whose character and playfulness fascinate me more and more.

I have been a judge since 2008 and I am authorized to judge all breeds in FCI Groups IV, V, VIII and X, non-recognized breeds, and international-level junior handling competitions.

I am currently working towards my qualifications to judge Group VII breeds. So far, I have judged at many prestigious dog shows in Poland and abroad.

Recently, I have also been involved in sighthound racing, where I am a licensed judge.
