I grew up with Newfoundland’s and German Sheperd’s and dogs have been part of my life ever since. My own breeds, which I have successfully bread and still breed from time to time, are English cocker spaniels, OES and PBGV. In 1980 I was confirmed by the Swiss Kennel club (SKG) as a judge, and now I am an approved all round judge.

I have judged in most European countries, England, USA, South America, Asia and Australia many times and this includes several National Specialties, European Winner- and World Dog Shows.

Since 2006 I’ve been member of the SKG board and president of judges- and show- commission and since 2010 member of the FCI Europe Section General Committee.
