Anna Paananen

Finland

I qualified as a conformation judge in 2023 and am currently approved to judge breeds in FCI Group 5. My family has always had various Nordic hunting spitz breeds and at present I share my home with Jämthunds and a Norrbottenspitz. I have been involved in breeding on a very small scale and even my youngest homebred dogs have already reached veteran age. With my own dogs I am active in both conformation shows and practical hunting, as well as working trials. I also serve as a judge in moose barking trials. Professionally, I work in the forestry sector. I am very much looking forward to judging the puppy show at the Koiramessut!
