Gabriela Veiga

Portugal

In 1999 she started her judge training with sighthounds. After breeding Podengo Portugues together with her husband Victor for many years now, she had to surrender after this long time, according to her own statements, and fell in love with the shorthaired variety of these original Mediterranean hunting dogs of the FCI group 5. In 2005, the first litter of the small Podengo Portugues in the smooth-haired variety was born in her own kennel. Over the years, Gabriela Veiga held various positions in the Portuguese Kennel Club and was a member of the Show Committee as well as a board member of the Sighthound Association for almost 15 years. As an internationally renowned group judge for sighthounds and small dogs, Gabriela Veiga can regularly be found at major events and club shows worldwide. – However, her passion as a judge is clearly the family of sighthounds and the Mediterranean breeds of FCI Group 5.
