Although dogs have been always part of my life in one way or the other my serious hobby with dogs started in 1990s. My own breed is Australian Kelpie, a breed I have bred already 20 years. Especially in Kelpies, but also in other breeds, I am interested in the original purpose of the breed and its connection to the appearance of the breed. Besides Kelpies I have owned Pugs, Dobermanns, Miniature Pinschers and nowadays a Wire-haired German Pointer. My judging career started in 2018 and at the moment I am qualified to judge breeds of FCI groups 1, 5 and 7. By profession I am Lead Customer service Manager in an international IT-company.
