Judge, Mrs. Maria Amélia Taborda
I had dogs all my life at my family house. German Shepherds were my father’s choice. At 17 I found a breed I didn’t know in Portugal and I dreamed for – Bernese Mountain Dog. I had no conditions to have one because I lived in a small apartment in the centre of the town so I decided wisely to wait. Near the age of 40 I had the opportunity to share my life with some BMD’s and also with my husband’s newfies. Retired of my work, I began this adventure – to breed, to show, and more than that to select the best I could. At the same time I began to work closer with our kennel club as a ring steward (I love this work), and also in some committees. I organized also some technical forums and nowadays I’m a member of the Portuguese Kennel Club Technical Commission, also because I’m an eternal student. The results of our work (my husband and mine) were really positive and I understood that judging some breeds was the logical consequence of my work. So in 2002 I passed the first exam and according to our rules in 2007 I became an International FCI Judge. Now I judge mostly my breeds (Bernese Mountain Dog and Newfoundland), but also others from my group 2. I judge also some Portuguese breeds and step by step I will try to finish my group and who knows, other breeds I like and I know better. I have judged several times in my country, Portugal, and also in France, Ireland, Norway, Russia, Luxembourg and Italy. I have also judged some important Specialties in Portugal, France, Russia and Italy.
I have been breeding chairman of the Austrian Molosser Club, actually I am the president.
In judging, I am judge only for 11 molossoid breeds, I prefer athletic and sound dogs and, also in the molossoid breeds, having and showing a lot of endurance. In my opinion it is the main part in breeding dogs to keep temperament and fitness.
Some important Shows I have judged at:
- ‘Angela Cipolla’ Trophy ( Newfoundland Special in Italy Tribute to Mrs. Angela Cipolla, included in the
National Show of Biella in 2007 – Judged BMD’s at this national show
- Regional Specialty of Eyragues organisized by the Club Français du Terre Neuve et du Landseer, in 2007.
- Russian Newfoundland Club National Specialty 2008, in Tyumen, Siberia
- Porto Winner show 2009, qualifying for Crufts, judged Bernese, and others.
- BMD regional Specialty in Bergerac, France, 2009, organized by the French BMD club : A.F.B.S.
- BMD and other breeds Dublin, Ireland in 2009.
- Oslo Double CACIB 2010 Judged BMD, Pyrenean Mountain Dogs and Newfs, all qualifying for Crufts and for
Norwegian Winner 2010.
- I have already confirmed my invitations to judge BMD National Specialties in Russia and Italy in 2011 and in
Sweden in 2012.
