I got in to dogs and dog shows as soon I was born. My parents breed Irish Terriers and Jack Russels under the fame MerryMac. As long as I can remember I've been to dog shows and when I was old enough I started competing in children with dog. As I got older I continued in junior handling.

The summer I turned 15 I went to work in USA for a handler and went back for two more summers. That was really exciting and a great way to learn more about showing and preparing dogs.

I'm also in charge for Swedish Terrier clubs group "Terrier juniors". Where we try to teach and involve our young members to show and train with there dogs.
I have my own Irish named James that I show and groom myself. He also helps me at work.

I'm really excited and honoured to judge the Finnish championship this year. I've always thought Finland has a very high standard in there competitors.
