Tarja Kallio

Finland

I am Tarja Kallio and I live in Pyhätunturi, Pelkosenniemi in Lapland. I became judge in 2018 and at the moment I judge breeds of FCI groups 1, 2, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 10. My own breeds are Grey Norwegian Elkhound, Swedish Elkhound, White Swedish Elkhound and Small Münsterländer. Together with my husband we breed under prefix Tuntuijärven. As you may conclude of my breeds I am interested in elk- and bear hunting and whit the poining dog bird hunting. Here up north we have large terrains and lots of animals for hunting. We have also a Tibetan Terrier at home, a nice companion dog that hunts only titbits. I am active both in the Finnish Elkhound Association and the Finnish Pointing Dog Association acting as an instructor for new judges. I am also active in local hunting clubs, act as a judge in elkhound trials, show and judges secretary and as a ring steward.
