Germany

I grew up with dogs. German Shepherd, Dachshund, German Wirehaired Pointer, Pekingese. In 1980 I got my first dog, a Pomeranian. That’s how my love for German Spitz was born. In 1983 I got my first Keeshond from an emergency adoption and it was clear that I wanted to breed this variety. However, successful Keeshond breeding only began in 2004. To date, there have been 16 litters from which World Winners, International Champions, and many National Titles have been won. In 2015 I imported a Keeshond from Finland who became a very successful show dog in Germany and fathered excellent puppies in Germany. In 1982 I became a member of the German Spitz Association, where I became chairwoman of the Cologne group in 1988 (to this day). In 1994 I became a Special Judge for German Spitz, Japanese Spitz, and Volpino Italiano. I judge all over Europe (including the UK). Shows as an exhibitor are also my life. I visit shows all over Europe with my dogs, including Crufts. I would also like to thank you for the great honor of being able to judge the beautiful Spitzes at Winner Helsinki.
