Thank you so much for the invitation to judge at your show in April.
My dog lifestarted in 1983, when I got my first Tibetan terrier and since then there has been at least 1 dog in our family. It was first in 1991 that I opened my eyes to exhibitions and breeding.
The nameof my kennel is “Bondenkonen” in english ”the farmer’s wife”, the name comes from the fact that I live on a farm. The first litter under this prefix was born in 1995. As of today, we have Lhasa Apso, BichonHavanais and Chihuahua living at home.
I have been and am still active as an exhibitor myself, both in Norway and also a lot around Europe.
Over the years I have imported dogs from England, Finland, theNetherlands, Lithuania, Denmark and Sweden.
I have owned, bred and exhibitedseveraldogs to Champions also International champions, both in Norway and abroad, and have achievedgroupplacementwith all my breeds. In addition, several BIS placements, both in Norway and abroad.
In addition to exhibitions, I have trainedourdogs in obedience, rally obedience and agility, butonly for everydayuse.
In 2007 I started thejudging training and was authorized to judge my first breed, Schapendoes, in March 2008. As the first “non-Dutch judge” I was invited and authorized to also do breedinginventarisation for Schapendoes.
I have judged exhibitions both in Norway and abroad. I am currently extending my authorization for more breeds, both in Group 1 and Group 9 and hope to get the groupauthorization for group 9 in 2023.
I am resident in South Africa and may judge the Toy and Utility breeds as listed with our Kennel Union of Southern Africa (KUSA). I am also a learner judge of the breeds within the Hound and Terrier Groups.
Growing up in an animal orientated family, my parents bred and showed Pugs. Later my mother and sister bred and showed Pekingese. My parents bred and showed Pugs. Later my mother and sister bred and showed Pekingese.
I have owned KUSA registered dogs since 1989 and currently have 3 Chow Chows.
I started exhibiting at dog shows in 1998 and over the years I have made up 8 Chow Chow breed champions. Five of these have their International Champion (CIB) status, 4 have been awarded the Grand Champion title. One is a Supreme Champion.
I am proud to have shown 4 to multiple all breed Best in Show (each) and each has achieved multiple group wins or placings.
Kendo, bred and owned by myself, is the top winning Chow Chow within Southern Africa since 1896.
have produced 3 books on the Chow Chow concentrating on the breed and its history in Southern Africa.
I am involved in different aspects of the dog world : from my companions at home being show dogs, to having a Therapy dog, assisting on committees, stewarding and judging. A highlight was judging Chow Chows and several other breeds in Seljord, Norway in 2021.
Outside of dogdom, I work in the performing arts industry where my passion lies with the classical art forms such as ballet and opera.
