I became a judge in 2006. My own breed is the Leonberger. Besides Finland, I’ve judged in 15 different countries, mostly Leonbergers. Today, I’m qualified to judge breeds from groups 1 and 2. I also have previous experience from obedience and mental testing. My other hobbies include motorcycles and photography. In addition to Leonbergers, I’ve also had other breeds at home over the years, a Rough Collie, a Borzoi, a Dutch Shepherd, and Belgian Shepherds. In addition to conformation, I value temperament and sound movements that are typical for the breed. See you in December.
