Team CZRepublic

Richard Pech & 

Balance Axarzen

My Belgian Shepherd (Malinois) is named Balance Axarzen and she is 4.5 years old. She has beenactive in Rally Obedience for three years now (RO3, FCI ROB). In RO, Balance became the CzechNational Champion in 2024, reached the finals at the FCI ROB World Championship in Finland in 2024,and in 2025 won 1st place at the Rally Obedience Europe Open, thus becoming the first dog in theCzech Republic to earn the CACIROB title. My name is Richard Pech – her partner, friend, trainer etc. Ihave been involved in dog sports since I was 15 years old but actively for the past 12 years with thearrival of Orina (also a Malinois). For me, training means: Your dog teaches you how to teach themnew things. In other words, I respect the individuality of each dog, and only then can we trulyunderstand each other and find harmony. Besides Rally Obedience, Balance has also been competingwith me in top-level Obedience for the past three years and has already participated in two FMBBWorld Championships. Additionally, we also do IGP as a complementary sport.

Mária Nowak &

Enzo od Skučáku 

Hi, I am Mája and my dog border collie is Enzo. My life as handler has started just before 6 years when I bought Enzo. So, I am still a handler beginner and little girl in this big dog world :-) but I am so thankful for that. In addition to RO, we do also Agility and Dog-dancing actively, passively herding.

Our biggest achievement is our qualification to world championship, second time. And also, first place at Europa Open in RO3 class. Still, we are learning a lot of things, but we are enjoying our lives :-). We are looking forward to our rally-friends and to all performances, and don´t forget: Every step is a challenge, every command is our moment :-).

Anna Musilová & Bicori QweFi Family Geluzee

Hi, my name is Anička Musilová and my best partner at the World Championship is my six-year-old border collie Cori. We have been training Rally Obedience since last summer, and I have fallen in love with her working style and energy on the RO courses. Our biggest achievement so far is winning the title of Czech Rally Champion for Border Collies in 2024. With Cori, we also enjoy training in Obedience and, of course, cuddling on the couch. We are really looking forward to the World Championship, and at home our biggest fan – my three-year-old son Dominik – will be cheering for us.


Kristýna Barošová &
Mind The Dog Star

I currently have four border collies. I have been dedicated to my passion – dog training – for 20 years, and it is also my profession in my dog school Fenix. I actively compete in Obedience and Rally Obedience, and for fun I also do Agility, Herding, and Dog-dancing. Kesha, despite her results, is a very challenging dog to cooperate with. However, over time we have found true harmony, especially in Rally Obedience and Dog-dancing. Achievements: Kesha holds the title of Dog-dancing Champion,

and together we have completed 30 exams in Obedience, Dog-dancing, Rally Obedience, and Herding, including the highest levels: IBGH3, OB-3, RO-3, HTM3, DwD3, F3, MD3, and IHT1 (herding).

She also participated in the Obedience World Championship in 2023. We are happy that we can now represent the Czech Republic also in Rally Obedience, which truly fits us both.

Martina Vaškebová & Hi, I am Haru Bohemia Grant

I have been dedicated to dog training and education for 25 years at my dog school in Brno. RallyObedience caught my attention right from the start, and even though we have only been practicingthis sport for 1.5 years, Haru and I managed to qualify for this year's World Championship in Austria.However, Haru's lifelong sport is still agility. I am looking forward to gaining inspiration from other,more experienced teams.

Jitka Štichauerová & 
Henri Hola-Hopa

My name is Jitka and I will be competing with my 6-year-old dog Harry, who is both a wonderfulpartner and an unpredictable rascal. At home, I have two more enthusiastic border collies who makesure I never get bored. Together we go on trips and train in agility, hoopers, rally obedience, sheepherding, and we also do Canis-therapy to bring joy and happiness to others. I am really lookingforward to the experiences at the World Championship and to gaining new insights.

Dorota Anderlová

Teamleader

My two beautiful and amazing daughters have outgrown their childhood shoes, and I've finally been able to devote myself to my passion: dog sports and organizing events for fellow enthusiasts. This journey has led me all the way to leading the Czech team at this year's Rally Obedience World Championship in Tulln, Austria. I'm truly looking forward to intense emotions, moments of deep focus, and world-class performances from all the teams.
