Soley Ragna Ragnarsdottir

Iceland

Sóley Ragna is a dog enthusiast from Iceland, born and raised in the “Dog World.” Her passion for dogs has been lifelong, starting with a Boxer, and later a Miniature Schnauzer and a home full of Griffons. Sóley has been deeply involved in her mother’s small but successful breeding program, breeding Griffons under the prefix “Halastjörnu.” Today, she is the proud owner of an Icelandic Sheepdog and a Petit Brabançon.
Her dedication to the dog world began early—before turning 10, Sóley was already attending every dog-related seminar she could find, volunteering at events hosted by the Icelandic Kennel Club, and spending hours researching pedigrees and show results. As a teenager, she competed in Junior Handling, worked as a ring secretary and enjoyed assisting professional groomers when she had the chance.
In 2011, Sóley began her education to become an FCI judge despite her young age. She was licensed to judge her first breeds in 2014 and has since steadily expanded her knowledge. Sóley has stayed active within the Icelandic Kennel Club, contributing to several committees, serving as a correspondent for the Icelandic Sheepdog Club, and working at various events.
