Jiřina qualified as a national judge in 1998 and she became international hudge three years later. Since then, she judged competitions in the Czech Republic, Poland, Hungary, Latvia and Slovakia. She was a Czech teamleader for Agility World Championships in 2003 and 2004 and for Agility Junior Championship from years 2002 – 2008.
