Tuula Savolainen

Finland

I got my first dog, an Airedale Terrier, when I was 10 years old.
I have bred 11 litters of Irish Wolfhounds since 1984 under the kennel name Wolfmann. I have also bred one Pharaoh Hound litter as well as two Dobermann litters. At the moment, I have a Shiba and a Miniature Schnauzer at home. I have been actively involved in club activities for a long time, both in the Finnish Irish Wolfhound Club and in the Finnish Show Judges Association. The Finnish Irish Wolfhound Club awarded me the Golden Merit Badge in 2020. In addition to dog hobbies, I enjoy spending time outdoors and gardening. I obtained my conformation judge’s license in 1994. I am licensed to judge Groups 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 10. I also judge most breeds in Groups 1, 3, and 9. In addition to Finland, I have judged in Belgium, the Netherlands, England, Ireland, Latvia, Lithuania, Norway, Sweden, Germany, Switzerland, Denmark, the Czech Republic, and Estonia.
