I have been breeding Miniature Pinschers on a small scale since 1992, and now I breed German Pinschers. We have two German Pinschers and two Japanese Spitzes in our home. I have been awarded the Vuolasvirta Prize in 2003 for the breeding of Miniature Pinschers. I was qualified to judge in 2014 and since then I have expanded my judging qualifications moderately. At the moment, I am qualified to judge breeds from FCI groups 2, 4, 5 and 6.
As a judge, I am particularly interested in the correctness of the breed type, a healthy and functional structure and the typical behavior of the breed.
