KCP Visiting Judges
I was born in Norway in 1973 and have been living in Trondheim until recently. Dogs have always played a big part in my life. As a child I grew up with a mix of Norwegian Elkhound and Russian Laika. At the age of 14 I had my first own dog, a Bouvier Des Flandres. From the age of 13, I travelled together with my, brother-in-law, to many local dog shows and you can only imagine my happiness when I had my own show dog. My interest in dog shows and pure bred dogs had begun. ?Together with my mun, I bred a few litters with the affix Beralex. In one of the three litters there were seven puppies, and six of these became champions.
Under my previous prefix, Statesman, I have bred American Cocker Spaniels for 25 years, and lately English Pointers. Beside the breeds mentioned above, I have been living withand showing Siberian Husky, French Bulldog, Beagle, Giant and Miniature Schnauzers.
Another passion of mine is hunting, and I have previously been hunting and participated in field trial tests with myBeagles and Gordon Setters. In 2023 I moved to Denmark, where I’m living with mypartner Vibe. She is the second generation of Sieger’s English Springer Spaniels, and the Springers have therefor become a major part of my life.
I have been vice president of the Norwegian Spaniel Club andpresident of the Norwegian Kennel Club of Mid Norway, vice president of the Beagle Club of Mid Norway, in the board of the Norwegian Schnauzer Pinscher & Bouvier Club of Mid Norway, president of the Young Kennel Club of Norway, and many others.
I passed my judging exam in 2007 and have ever since then been working hard and dedicated my time to reach my goal to become FCI All Breed judge. This was realized in 2024, andI’ve been fortunate to judge all around Europe, and are looking forward to great appointments in the coming years, counting among others Australia, New Zealand, Brazil, Indonesia, England and the US.
