Second judge introduction:

Šárka Matušová (Czech republic) is an international herding judge in CS and TS style. In 2001 Šárka´s attention was caught by the excellent work of border collies and this brought her to learn more about sheep herding. In 2007 she started to build her sheep farm and she became the herding judge both in collecting and traditional style. Since then Šárka´s life is the life on farm with her sheep and dogs. Although herself she owns border collies, she organizes trainings and trials for traditional breeds at her farm too, and is regularly judging TS trials. Šárka is mostly a practical person, who doesn´t live her life on internet, but she is very happy to see any person, who is interested in herding with any breed, and share with them her true shepherd´s life experience.
