Arne Foss

Norway

I live in Trondheim in the middle of Norway and work as a marketing consultant in a newspaper office. I got my first dog – a Dalmaian – Stokklias Paper Moon in 1977 and since then I was active in the breed for 31 years. My kennel prefix is Paper Moon and it is co-owned by Elisabeth Bugge Olsen, who is also a handler. Nowadays I breed Great Danes and Whippets, earlier I have bred Dalmatians, Chihuahuas and Lagotto Romagnolos. In 2000, the Dog of The Year in Norway was a Whippet, Paper Moon Parisian Maiden and I have also had BIS and BIS breeders groups at our main Great Dane Specialty and Best In Show at Whippet Club Shows and Sighthound Shows as well as several times Top Winning Dalmatian and Whippet in Norway. I judged my first open show in 1990 and got my judging license for the Dalmatians in 1995. All Breed judge I am since 2010. I am judging all over the world, between 30-40 weekends every year. I have been a member of the Judging Educational and Standard Committee in the Norwegian Kennel Club for many years. My other interests are reading, Italian cars and supporting my soccer-team Rosenborg!
