I grew up in a hunting family, where dogs always had a stable place. My father and grandfather gave me a warm relationship with dogs and nature from a young age. I´ve been involved with the training of hunting dogs since I was a child.
I´ve been involved in training hunting dogs since I was a child. I showed my first dog at the autumn trials when I was 14.
The flushing dogs were my first. I also showed breeds such as the Bavarian Mountain Scent Hound, the Slovakian Hound and several breeds of pointers at the hunting suitability trials. I fell in love with the German Shorthaired Pointer. A beautiful, intelligent, energetic, and devoted breed. I´ve been a member of the NKS Breeders' Club since 2003. In 2008 I became a member of the club's committee, where I´ve been the secretary since then.
I'm actively involved in cynology, both in the club and in the Nitra district, where I'm the chairman of the cynological commissions at the SPZ and OPK.
I co-organized several exams, as well as important national and international competitions for pointers. In 2009, I became a judge for the autumn exams for the pointers, and in 2010 I became also an all-round judge for pointers. The dream of having my breeding started to come true in 2013 when I bred my first litter of German Shorthaired Pointers under my FCI kennel "z Banásovho dvora".
My goal is to breed healthy and mentally strong dogs with a strong will to work.
Of course, also dogs that are as close as possible to the breed standard. My greatest breeding success is the stud dog “Cvik z Banásovho”, who became the winner of the “Karel Podhajský Memorial” in 2019 and also the best NKS for that year.
I m a judge for the exterior since 2024, for the German Shorthaired Pointer breed.

I consider the turn of 2007 and 2008 to mark the beginning of my journey in the dog world, as that was when I started actively participating in Junior Handling competitions. The world of dog shows and cynology captivated me to such an extent that it became my lifestyle and an integral part of who I am. I had the honor of representing Slovakia in Junior Handling at numerous prestigious international events—such as Cruft´s, the World Dog Show, and the European Dog Show —achieving success on two of those occasions.
Since 2018, I have served as an SKJ judge for Junior Handling; I am currently a member of the Youth and Junior Handling Commission of the ÚKK (Únia kynologických klubov) and a trainer for the Slovak Junior Handling Club.
I am an active breeder and handler of Cavalier King Charles Spaniels (since 2010) and Whippets (since 2017). Many international champions have been produced under my kennel name, MAGIC NOBLESSE, and I have the privilege of being the breeder, owner, and handler of dogs holding titles such as World Winner, Junior World Winner, European Winner, and Junior European Winner.

I have been interested in animal breeding and breeding dogs since I was a child. However, I got my first dog with a pedigree in 1979, when I got a job at the cynology department of the Slovak Hunting Association. I was looking for a breed that is neither large nor small, a sporty type, a good family dog, and also a good working dog. The choice fell on the Irish terrier breed, which is still in my heart.
In 1981, I raised my first litter in my FCI kennel “Tavari”. Later, I also raised a few litters of miniature long-haired Dachshunds. Several international, national, and club champions have come from my kennel, and they were also successful in breeding. I always paid attention not only to the typical exterior but also to the health of the dogs, balanced temperament, and good aptitude for hunting use. I breed Irish terriers until today. I also deal with hunting cynology and I am also an FCI judge for the performance of hunting dogs.
I am an international judge for the exterior of FCI III, IV groups and for our national breeds the Slovakian Hound, the Slovakian Cuvach, and the Wirehaired Slovakian Pointer. I worked for 30 years in the committee of the Slovak Terrier and Fox Terrier Breeders' Club. I was engaged in education and publishing activities, especially concerning terriers. I´ve published several articles about the Irish Terrier in cynology and hunting magazines. In professional cynology, I worked for 41 years on the studbook of the Slovak Hunting association. I was honored with several awards for my many years of work in Slovak cynology. The Slovak Cynology Union awarded me a silver medal for the development of Slovak cynology. The Slovak Hunting Association awarded me the “Golden Chamois” for many years of work in the field of hunting cynology.

Záujem o chov zvierat a plemená psov ma sprevádzal už od malička. Prvého psa s preukazom o pôvode som však získala v roku 1979, keď som sa zamestnala na kynologickom oddelení Slovenského poľovníckeho zväzu. Hľadala som plemeno, ktoré nie je ani veľké, ani malé, športového typu, do rodiny aj na pracovné využitie. Voľba padla na plemeno írsky teriér, ktorý je dodnes mojou srdcovkou.
V roku 1981 som odchovala prvý vrh v mojej chovateľskej stanici „Tavari“. Neskôr som odchovala aj pár vrhov jazvečíkov dlhosrstých trpasličích. Z mojej chovateľskej stanice pochádza niekoľko medzinárodných, národných a klubových šampiónov, ktorí sa úspešne uplatnili aj v chove. Dbala som vždy nielen na typický exteriér, ale aj na zdravie odchovaných jedincov, vyrovnané povahy a dobré vlohy pre poľovné využitie. Chovu írskych teriérov sa venujem dodnes. Venujem sa aj poľovníckej kynológii a som tiež rozhodca pre výkon poľovných psov.
Som medzinárodný rozhodca pre posudzovanie exteriéru skupín FCI III. a IV. a pre národné plemená slovenský kopov, slovenský čuvač a slovenský hrubosrstý stavač. Pracovala som 30 rokov vo výbore Slovenského klubu chovateľov teriérov a foxteriérov. Venovala som sa osvetovej a publikačnej činnosti, najmä čo sa týka teriérov. Vyšlo mi niekoľko článkov o írskom teriérovi v kynologických a poľovníckych časopisoch. V profesionálnej kynológii som pracovala 41 rokov na plemennej knihe SPZ. Za dlhoročnú prácu v slovenskej kynológii som bola vyznamenaná niekoľkými oceneniami. Slovenská kynologická jednota ma vyznamenala striebornou medailou za rozvoj slovenskej kynológie. Slovenský poľovnícky zväz mi udelil ocenenie ,,Zlatý kamzík“, za dlhoročnú prácu na poli poľovníckej kynológie.
I was born into a family of dog enthusiasts; my father was a hunter and my mother a veterinary technician. Dogs have always been an integral part of our family. We started out breeding Yorkshire Terriers and German Shorthaired Pointers. Our kennel, of which I am a co-owner, is named "Family Song’s." I began showing dogs in 2000 and continue to do so today. I have achieved several titles—including European Junior Winner and European Veteran Winner—and even reached the pinnacle of success by winning the World Winner title at a show in Paris. Currently, I breed Chinese Crested Dogs. In addition to the Chinese Cresteds, I have a Miniature Bull Terrier named Zuza at home. I have always admired the work of judges in the ring, so I decided to take the necessary exams to become a judge myself. I am currently an international judge for breeds in FCI Groups 9 and 3, as well as for breeds not recognized by the FCI.
