Year 2025 in Review

The year 2025 was intense, rewarding, and full of unforgettable moments. It was a year packed with dog shows of every kind—those where I proudly presented my own dogs, those where I had the honour of judging, and many others where I attended simply as a spectator to meet friends, breeders, and enthusiasts of our wonderful breed.

At the same time, I increased my workload in my professional life, which unfortunately left very little room for my breeding plans. Even though the year was overflowing with activity, some dreams had to wait. But I’m hopeful that 2026 will finally bring the time and space to move forward with everything I’ve been planning.

Listing every single show here would be far too much (full results are always available on my Facebook profile), so instead I’m sharing just a few highlights of the year

Our Sonny  had an exceptional year.

At the very beginning of 2025, he completed all requirements for the title Czech Champion, officially becoming Ch. Krasoň Garex. Over the course of the year, he continued to shine in the show ring and added an impressive collection of titles, including:

  • Interra World Winner

  • Slovakia Clubwinner

  • Dutch and Austrian Winner

  • Dutch Champion

One of the most memorable moments came at the prestigious TRIO CACIB Prague, where Sonny not only won Best of Breed, but also achieved Best of Group—a remarkable accomplishment for our breed.

And to make the year even more special, Sonny became a father for the very first time.

MultiCh Ilonka Garex, at home known as Lonny, shone every time she stepped into the show ring. Right at the start of the season she brought me immense joy when an international panel selected her as the third best terrier at the prestigious Champion of Champions show in Prague – an extraordinary achievement for a Czech Terrier.

In spring, she added the Luxembourg Champion title to her long list of accomplishments, followed in autumn by Dutch Champion and Club Winner in the Netherlands. In between, during the summer, she dominated the breed at both the Interra Show and the Specialty Show for Czech Terriers.

I was also delighted by the achievements of my other homebred dogs. Among them, I would especially like to highlight Kajetán Garex, who likewise earned the title Czech Champion, won the Club Winner title in very strong competition, and later became  Specialty Winner in Czechia.

In addition, he successfully passed the working trial in earthdog hunting!

Summer – autumn 2024

Too many to mention all the results, especially „puppies“ from Garex J and K litters were shown and they made me happy and proud as a breeder ❤️
Really happy to show my beloved Gijs, aged 10+ at what will be definitely his last show – the European Dogshow 2024 with as result Best of Breed veteran.
