Rođen sam 29.03.1961.

Po zanimanju sam magistar inženjer naftnog rudarstva.

U kinologiju sam aktivno uključen od 1994. kao član kinološkog društva „Đurđevac“. U društvu sam 6 godina obavljao dužnost tajnika društva, no zbog obaveza na poslu morao sam odustati od te dužnosti.

Osim članstva u matičnom društvu, već sam skoro 20 godina redoviti član CIRN-a (Club Italiano Razze Nordice), član Kluba prijatelja pasa V FCI skupine u Zagrebu te član slovenskog Kluba za polarne pasme.

Već od djetinjstva sam imao svoje pse, mješance koji su mi uljepšavali dane djetinjstva.

Prvog čistokrvnog psa, ženku samojeda kupujem 1994. i od te, slučajno kupljene ženke, počinje moja aktivnost u kinologiji.

Od tada se svake godine povećava broj pasa tako da u zadnjih 4-5 godina uvijek imamo minimalno 8 pasa, od najstarijih 14 godišnjaka do nekoliko mjeseci starih štenaca. Trenutno imamo 10 samojeda.

Suprugom Snježana i ja smo 1998. registrirali uzgajivačnicu pod imenom „Nox-Poli“.  

Odmah čim je registrirana uzgajivačnica, aktivirana je i internet stranica www.nox-poli.hr na kojoj ljubitelji samojeda mogu pronaći puno korisnih informacija.

Redoviti sam učesnik izložbi od lokalnih do onih najvećih, europskih ili svjetskih.

Najznačajniji izložbeni rezultati pasa iz našeg uzgoja na europskim i svjetskim izložbama su: najljepša beba samojed na Eurodog Show-u 2007., titula europskog prvaka u konkurenciji veterana na Eurodog Show-u 2008. te titula najljepšeg šteneta na World Dog Show-u 2012.

Sa psom u našem vlasništvu, smo postigli vrijedne rezultate i to BIS beba Eurodog Show-a 2010. te titula mladog prvaka na Eurodog Show-u 2011.

Iz vlastitog uzgoja imamo nekoliko međunarodnih prvaka i nekoliko desetaka nacionalnih prvaka raznih europskih zemalja.

Psi iz našeg uzgoja se mogu sresti u jedanaest europskih zemalja, od Rusije na sjeveru do Grčke na jugu.

Za rad na razvoju hrvatske kinologije nagrađen sam Poveljom HKS-a i Srebrnom značkom Hrvatskog kinološkog saveza.

Kinološki sudac za sve pasmine FCI grupe V sam od 2007. godine, a od 2010. i za kompletnu FCI grupu IV. 

Do sada sam sudio na izložbama u Hrvatskoj i Sloveniji te specijalnim izložbama FCI grupe V u Hrvatskoj, Italiji i Finskoj. Ove godine ću suditi specijalnu izložbu V. grupe u Srbiji, a za slijedeću godinu čekaju me suđenja na specijalnim izložbama u Sloveniji i Norveškoj. Posebno priznanje kao uzgajivaču i sucu je poziv za suđenje National Samoyed Championship Show-a u Australiji 2016.

Kinološki sudac mora svakodnevno biti u tijeku sa svim važnim zbivanjima u kinološkom svijetu, stalno koristiti svaku mogućnost dodatne izobrazbe i usavršavanja bilo preko tečajeva, dostupne literature ili promatranja rada drugih sudaca u ringu. Vrlo često koristim priliku sudjelovati na predavanjima koje vezano uz velike izložbe održavaju najpoznatiji suci ili uzgajivači.  Mogu se pohvaliti svojom  „malom kinološkom bibliotekom“ u kojoj se među stotinjak knjiga mogu naći i neki od najvažnijih naslova iz opće kinološke tematike kao i pasminske knjige najpoznatijih autora.

Povremeni sam suradnik raznih kinoloških časopisa, a 2013. godine sam pripremio i izdao knjigu prijevoda standarda FCI grupe V.

I was born on March 29th 1961. I am a Master of Petroleum Engineering.

Since 1994 I have been actively involved in the dogs-world. That year we bought our first Samoyed.  After that, every year we had more and more dogs, for the past 5-6 years we have had at least 8 Samoyeds - from a few months old puppies to 14 years old dog. There are ten Samoyeds living in our home.

Since 1994 I have been a member of the Kennel Club “Durdevac” in which I was the secretary for almost 6 years.

In addition to membership in the local kennel club, for over 15 years I have been a member of CIRN (Italian Club

For Nordic Breeds), member of the Nordic Club in Zagreb-Croatia and member of The Slovenian Club for Spitz and Primitive Dogs.

In 1998 with my wife I have registered kennel under prefix “Nox-Poli“ (FCI 44/98). Since beginning we have only one breed, the Samoyed. We were one of the first kennels in Croatia that had their own web site (www.nox-poli.hr) where the Samoyed’s fanciers could find interesting and useful information about the breed.

The puppies bred in our home are living in: Russia, Germany, France, Italy, Hungary, Austria, Slovenia, Serbia, Macedonia, Greece…

We very often participate with our dogs at dog shows - from local shows to the biggest European or World Dog Shows. The most important dog show prizes we won with the dogs bred in our home are the title of Best Baby Samoyed at EDS 2007, Veteran Winner at Euro Dog Show 2008 and Puppy World Winner at World Dog Show 2012.

Also there were many successes with our dog imported from Denmark:  BIS Baby at Eurodogshow in Celje 2010, JEuW and JBOG#3 at Eurodogshow 2011.

We also bred dozen of national champions of different countries and several International Champions.

I have been honoured with the Diploma of Croatian Kennel Club (HKS) in 2008 and with the Silver Badge of HKS in 2011.
Since 2008 I have a licence to judge all breeds of FCI group V and since 2012 for all breeds of FCI group IV.

So far I have judged on national and international shows in Slovenia and Croatia and specialty shows for FCI group V in Croatia and Italy. In 2013 I judged Specialty show of Finnish Samoyed Association.

My next judging are:  Specialty Show for FCI group V in Serbia in October 2014; International Show in Zagreb in November 2014; Specialty Show of The Slovenian Club for Spitz and Primitive Dogs and International Show in February 2015; Specialty Show in Norway August 2015 and National Samoyed Championship Show to be held in Australia in September 2016.

As a dog judge I believe in emphasis on the type and good points of each dog and only then taking into consideration the weaker points.

In my opinion, the person who is intending to be a dog judge has to keep up with all the important events in the dog world and should use every possibility of further education through courses, the available literature and use chance to learn from other judges and breeders as well. Because of that I am very often a visitor of the biggest dog shows. Often I use the opportunity to participate in seminars and lectures held by judges or breeders.

It is my pleasure to continuously enrich my personal dog-worlds library where we can find some of the most important titles from general dog-worlds topics and some rare books.

Also I have prepared a few technical articles about the dogs. The articles have been issued in Croatian Kennel Club’s magazine. I prepared and published the book of FCI group V standards in Croatian.
