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 almost 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. I have been a cynological judge since 2008 and I am authorised to judge all breeds from FCI group IV, V, VII, VIII, X, non-recognized breeds and Junior Handling competition on international level. So far I have judged at many prestigious dog shows in Poland and other European countries. I am also engaged into sighthound racing and coursing, and an FCI delegate for sighthound racing, and I am authorised to judge sighthound races as well as lure coursing. I look forward to judging in Norway and meeting irish wolfhound breeders, owners and people who share my love for the breed. Hanna Woźna-Gil
