GCh . S Milenka ’ s Hector In Act Four CGCA Cesky Terrier Owners : Loren Marino , Liana Kapustina and Alexander Kapustin
1 . & 2 . ‘ Hector ’ was bred by Karsten Kaemling who is credited with bringing the Cesky to Canada , and Hector ’ s parents come from Jitka Paulinova ( daughter of Mr . Horak , who developed the breed in the Czech Republic ).
3 . Hector has had a very minimal show career , with fewer than 150 shows total over 4 years of competition in the US , all after the age of 9 years old . Each year Hector has finished in the No . 2 spot narrowly behind his competition . Hector has sired multiple champions , Grand Champions and International Champions in the US and abroad . Hector has been invited to Westminster for all four years of competition , and earned two BOB wins ( 2015 and 2016 , the only owner-handled , non-professionally handled Cesky to do so .), and an AOM ( 2014 ) in the three years he competed .
Many of Hector ’ s show critiques have mentioned that he is very typey and an excellent representative of the breed , even at nearly 13 . One of Hector ’ s most memorable Group
placements came from Peter Green , respected terrier judge worldwide , who gave him a Group 2 behind the No . 1 Terrier , who went on to win Best in Show that day . Judge Green commented that he had not given another Cesky a Group placement anywhere in the world . 4 . N / A . 5 . Hector passes on his true-to-standard traits consistently to his offspring : proper size , proportion , bone , coat , magnificent heads , proper ear sets and correct toplines . While most of Hector ’ s offspring are still young here in the US , abroad , Hector ’ s oldest daughter Int ./ Bel ./ Cz ./ Dk ./ Lux . Ch . Ridley Pamatka ShCM , DKKV ‘ 11 , KV ‘ 13 , who shares her father ’ s birthday , will be 9 years old this year , proving that longevity and proper type continue to be strong factors in this line .
