GORDON HARAN (MAGREGOR) Championship Show Judge
Ever since I can remember I wanted a dog. When I was 10 years of age I recall watching Crufts the year that the English Setter won BIS. At a local pet show I fell for the Irish Setter. I attended as many shows as I could get to, including SKC in 1979, where we looked at many breeds but my mind was set on an Irish Setter. My parents were not doggy, but had relations with Pekingese and Corgi’s. I eventually got my first dog, an Irish Setter, in 1980. I was lucky that many people offered me lifts to shows and at local ringcraft I first got to know the German Shorthaired Pointer. After much persuasion, I got my first GSP in 1984. He won his first CC at 9 months of age, then became a champion and won a group at a Champ Show under the late Bobby James. When Marion and I set up home together our dog family grew. Not least being asked to handle a Weimaraner bitch for a first-time owner. A tremendous partnership ensued and she won 44 CC’s, ten groups and is still the only Weimaraner bitch to win Best in Show at a general Championship Show. I made up five generations of Champions from her. In 2002 we acquired a Welsh Springer, who became a Champion and produced the current Breed record holder, Ferndel Aeron Magregor To date, we have owned /bred 22 champions over 3 breeds, and won over a 170 cc’s. I have always believed in giving back to our hobby, so have been involved with organising shows, at all levels, for many years. I first judged in 1984 and I am now passed for all Gundog breeds at CC level, and the Gundog Group. I also judge Toys, Hounds at championship level. I have had the honour to judge at Crufts six times and look forward to Judging the Gundog Group at Crufts in 2023. I have judged in numerous countries including Australia and the USA. I think it is a tremendous honour to Judge a breed Club championship show and look forward to judging for the Hungarian Vizsla Society. |

Bronja Milicevic Andronja Affix (Special Awards Classes Lunchtime.)
I was 3 days old when I went to my first ring craft class, since then i have handled dogs, taught ring craft, taken breed seminars, assisted show committees, judged Junior handling, learned to groom dogs, and participated in good citizen schemes. I Enjoyed participating in junior handling and the famous finals when I was younger but soon realised I preferred showing in the breed rings. I started my career showing pointers then soon fell in love with Hungarian Vizslas to which I have made up several champions, my first when I was only 15 years old.
I have campaigned in the UK and throughout Europe to CC and CACIB level and obtaining BEST IN SHOW 3 at the international dog show in Slovenia and many groups wins. I was extremely lucky to have the chance to move abroad to Croatia to work with a successful show handling & grooming team as an assistant . This allowed me to travel throughout Europe to shows handling and preparing dogs for the show ring in Croatia, Serbia, Greece, Germany, Macedonia, Montenegro, Holland, Luxembourg, Belgium and many more countries. Along the way I assisted in making up 2 of our own bred multi-champions. I also gained valuable experience in dog grooming and handling particularly long coated breeds which allowed me to come into my current profession.
I am delighted to be asked to judge the Special Awards classes at the Hungarian Vizsla Society Championship Show 2020 and I am so looking forward to my day!
