Finland

The first dog came into my life in 1983 and after long discussions golden Retriever was our choice. I did not have any plans to do something special with our dogs but somehow I took part to different kind of courses and education and fun it was! I participated to a dog show with my dog in 1984 – 40 years ago!
I have had Golden Retrievers from Finland, Sweden and UK. The first litter under prefix Dreamstyle was born in 2009 and since then I have bred in a small scale. Since 2007 I have also owned Flat Coated Retrievers. I became judge in 2010 and at the moment I am qualified to judge most of the breeds of FCI group 8. By profession I am working in IT business service company and therefore it is really nice to go with dogs into the forest and have a relaxing moment after busy day. I am happy for the invitation to judge at the Winner-shows as it is the highlight of the year, both as an exhibitor and as a judge. See you in December at the Helsinki Fair Centre!
