I have been asked to write a little about my background, I have been in dog sports for about 40 years, for the first 20 years I was a trainer and Gr.C helper, but at some point my back started telling me that it would be a good idea to stop helping the work, and then I was encouraged to take the training to be a judge, and I have been for 22 years now, I have been to Norway and Sweden and judge their championships, and then I have had the great honor to judge the FCI-IGP-FH WC in Hungary 2021 In Denmark, I have been a judge at over 50 different championships + at many selections for these championships.

Throughout my dog life I have always had German Shepherds, but find great joy in judging all types of breeds

Over the years I have of course trained quite a few dogs for IGP. tests, at the moment I train a lot of tracks with my dog and also take part in quite a few track tests and hope that I can qualify for the Danish championship in October.

I have competed only in search, but I have been training also tracking with my dogs.

Pihka is 10,5 years old at the moment. Yesterday the newest member of our family moved to our home and I hope that she will be my search dog in the future. She is also a short haired Dutch shepherd, Kare-saran Käsikranaatti “Kaira”. I also have a third dog (same breed, Kare-saran Galaksi “Routa”) which is now 5,5 years old, but she is very insecure and has lots of fears so she is only a “home dog”.
