Top 5 movies?
I don’t think I have an absolute top 5. Plenty of favorites though. Lord of the Rings trilogy for sure. Harry Potter too. Other films I like are ‘The Pianist’, ‘The Shining’, ‘The Green Mile’, ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’, ‘Forrest Gump’, ‘Scarface’ and ‘Bridge to Terabithia’. And a lot more, but it wouldn’t fit top 5 anymore ;)


Last thing that you do before you go to bed
Wishing others a good night


The last thing you did that made you happy
Cuddling my dogs


Are you a vegan?
No. My dogs are carnivores and I feed them meat. I’d feel hypocritical if I would be a vegan.


Last time you took a train / where?
Today, home. I travel 4 hours a day by train, between home and university.

Your favorite part of the day?
For me; playtime with the pooches.
For the dogs; the same and for the Labbies you can add any time where there is food involved.


Favorite movie?
Top Gun... any time, any day when my brain doesn't need to work
Amelie Poulain... when my brain wants to work


Favorite country that you have visited?
That would be the USA, I've been there quite a few times now and a part from the disc dog scene I just love the nature in the South West. It's also a country where so many fantastic memories were created and I hope to continue going there at least once a year for a long time.


Your favorite food ?
Pasta's in all forms and sorts, mostly combined with chicken or seafood. Probably this is due to the fact I've always been in sports on a level where food can make a difference. It's no use entering a tennis court when you have just stuffed yourself on pizza or hamburgers, isn't it.


last thing that you do before you go to bed?
No comment...

Being outside on a beautiful day. Or on a rainy day as well, as long as I know that I will come home to a worm shower, hot tea and nice cozy bed.


Last thing that you do before you go to bed?
I have to wrestle my way into my bed first... Not so easy with a very spoiled cat and at least two dogs who think the bed is there for their comfort...


If you could choose anywhere in the world ,where would you wish to built a new home?
Although I love many different parts of Europe, I am quite sure I would stay in Slovenia. Our little country has everything I need. Beautiful nature in many different forms.

The last thing that you do before you go to bed?
I put my puppy in his puppy pen and gives all my dogs a treat. A nice way to end our day together.


Your best and worst competition?
My worst competition was Crufts 2009. My dog Whisper had been very ill a few months prior to the competition and as we travelled to the UK he started to show symptoms of the same illness again. Luckily it turned out to be falsh alarm and he was well and fit to compete, but the journey to England had been horrid and I had been so worried about him and I found it very hard to concentrate in the ring, which affected our performance in a bad way!


My best competition must be the World Championships in Denmark 2010. Both my sheltie Biscuit and my Border Collie Whisper worked so well. The Danish HTM Team (Whisper) won the World Championship and the Freestyle Team (Biscuit) won Silver. Both my dogs qualified for the individual final and they both placed 4th individually. It was not just the results that made it amazing though - it was the whole experience. Whisper got to do a Main Arena Demo, my young Border Collie Beat performed with the World Dog Show Hostess in the Main Arena, dinner with handlers from the other countries, cheering for my team mates and meeting dog dancers from all over the world. It was 4 fantastic days in Herning. You can read more about it all here


This year I will be judging the World Championships, which is held in Paris, so I expect that will be a different, but just as fantastic experience.


When did you last call a taxi?
Years ago when I was in Copenhagen with on of the residents from the home where I used to work. We went to a Christmas Cabaret and needed a taxi to get us back to the railway station so that we wouldn't miss our train home.


When was the last time you went abroad (where/why)? (question made in february)
It was in December 2010. I went to Helsinki in Finland for the Nordic HTM and Freestyle Championships. Finland is a beautiful country and I have some great friends there, so we had a very good time, but gosh its so cold there in December!


Where do you see yourself in the 2015?
I love all the travelling and all the wonderful experiences that my dogs and sport gives me, so hopefully I can continue to dance with my dogs both here in Denmark and abroad. Also I work in a home for mentally handicapped young people, who has just moved away from home and their parents. It is challenging, but I love it and I have just had a promotion, so I would love to be able continue what I am doing there.


I guess I see my self pretty much where I am now - surrounded by beautiful dancing dogs, great people at work and in the dog world and experiencing the world. I hope I will learn more, so that I can become an even better dog trainer.
