2027 tuomariesittelyt
Perttu Ståhlberg
Perheessämme on ollut suomenpystykorvia, samojedinkoira, siperianhusky ja chihuahua. Oma valinta osui osin sattumalta mäyräkoiriin. Aloitin oman kasvatuksen pitkäkarvaisilla kaniini- ja kääpiömäyräkoirilla kennelnimellä Rodels ja molempien rotujen kasvattamisesta olen saanut Vuolasvirta-palkinnon. Kasvattieni joukossa on myös Maailman- ja Euroopanvoittajia. Vaikka mäyräkoirat ovat vieneet mukanaan, niin kiinnostus muihin rotuihin on säilynyt vahvana.
Valmistuin ulkomuototuomariksi vuoden 2009 kurssilta ja olen Suomen lisäksi arvostellut myös useimmissa Euroopan maissa ja Etelä-Afrikassa ja Intiassa sekä eri rotujen erikoisnäyttelyissä ja useammassa maailmanvoittajanäyttelyssä. Minulla on mäyräkoirien oman ryhmän 4 lisäksi arvosteluoikeuksia kaikissa FCI:n roturyhmissä.

I'm a small hobby breeder, who currently raises and shows Scottish Terriers under the kennel name TIKRAS BILDUKAS (FCI). Before I started to breed the Scotties I’ve owned and met different breeds and types of dogs during my entire live - owned Collie, German Shepherd, Saluki, German Boxers, French Bulldog, Kerry Blue Terrier, bred Wire Fox Terriers more than 15 years, and all of them often in homely company with the team of rescue dogs.
I have no special preferences for whichever style of a breed. I still believe that a dog should be fit without exaggerations to be able fit the functions for what he was bred historical and I always follow this way when judging.
Other activities and hobbies: Judges trainer, Photographer, Professional Dog groomer, HONDA cars fan.

I come from a family with long history of breeding dogs and for as long as I can remember, there has always been Afghans. My mother started breeding Afghan Hounds under the kennel prefix Oshanameh’s and as soon as I turned 18, I joined the kennel. Today, my daughter Alexandra has also officially been marked as the breeder of Oshanameh’s, our breeding has been successful at shows and lure coursing in many parts of the World. Though our main breed has been Afghan Hounds, we have also bred several litters of Miniature Smooth Dachshunds over the last 15 years and recently due to my daughter’s keen interest in the breed, also Portuguese Podengo Medios. In addition to these breeds, I have also owned other dogs that I have shown quite a bit over the years – 2 Great Danes, a Shih Tzu, Bichon Havanaise, Pharaoh Hound, Saluki and a Dandie Dinmont Terrier.
Coming from Afghans and having been around sighthounds all my life, I am passionate about all sighthound breeds. I love the little details and characteristics that make them special and different from one another. I have given several lectures about sighthound breeds to judges who already have the right to judge them or wish to expand their rights to FCI group 10. I got my judge’s license in 2000 and 34 years later completed as all breed judge. I have been actively judging in different parts of the world, both at all-breed shows and specialty shows. I have judged in most European countries as well as outside EU - in Israel, the USA, Asia, and Australia.
In my personal life, I focus on energy markets and am currently completing a PhD in law. I have also studied at the Estonian Academy of Arts, and alongside my professional career, art has always played an important role in my life. I primarily draw and paint dogs, and in 2015 I began my long-term project, “Dogs On Maps,” which aims to depict all dog breeds of the world on historical maps of their regions of origin. Each breed requires extensive research, often taking several days to study its history and characteristics in depth. This project has become an ongoing educational journey that will take many more years to complete. Through this work, I have developed a deeper understanding of dogs than ever before, as it demands close attention to even the smallest details.
For me, judging and breeding dogs is an art form – each dog is unique, with its own characteristics and virtues. I greatly enjoy this and look forward to judging at your show.
