Hello Dachshund-lovers, 
I am truly honoured to be invited as a judge for our precious Dachshund-breeds by the finnish KC and knowing what a great job they do on shows up in Finland, it surely will be an outstanding show that no doglover should miss ! Me being overly proud to be invited to another WDS and can not say thanks tot he committee enough ! As I have been asked about me and myself and who I am, I can assure you that first and foremost, I love dogs ! So how to introduce myself ? My background in dogworld began with a dalmatian in GB in my teens, followed by Irish Setters in Germany, which I bred with the aim of Dual purpose, i.e. brain & beauty. Proud to have had the first double working champion of the breed in Germany in late nineties. Followed by national and international Show-Champions. Midst nineties Dachshund-Universe entered my world ! Again my aim was beauty and brain and after having much success in standard shorthaired dachshunds, I am nowadays more into rabbit size. By now I am a FCI group 4 judge, working judge for everything dachshunds can do (believe me…they are capable of everything, including existing without any air below the blankets !) and looking very much forward to meet your dogs on the table ! Glad to make friends with them and if they move nicely and have that oh-so-happy Dachsund spirit, I will be happy to.
