Jeanine Sudinski - Judging since 1972

Jeanine spent 10 years at Chicago's renowned Art Institute where she particularly enjoyed drawing and painting animals of all kinds.  It was here that she developed her eye for lines and body conformation. 

Her interest in Dachshunds began in 1950 when working with one on a TV commercial.  She became a serious student of the breed, I learning from such famous names as Grace Greenburg, Ed Hirshman, Fred and Rose Heying. 

In 1952 she bought her first Standard Smooth Dachshund.  Since then many champions and Best in Show winner's have borne her "Lucene" kennel name.  Jeanine's first judging assignment was in 1973 when she judged 167 dogs at the Northern California Dachshund Club!
In 1996 Jeanine judged 538 dachshunds at the 4th Annual Dachshund Specialty in Melbourne, Australia.

During this time, she has continued her career as a professional artist and her work includes some highly valued portraits of outstanding champion Dachshunds.
