I'm FCI judge for Rottweilers only since 1993. In 1995 I was named by Croatian Kennel Club (HKS) as head breed warden for Rottweiler breed and am also head breed warden for Croatian Rottweiler club and secretary of this club.
My first Rottweiler was Nestor-Dax, born 1988. We spend 11 years together; he was my unforgettable friend, wonderful dog. I was put on him BH and then IPO I at only 18 months of age. He loved to work so much that I used him to demonstrate obedience routines to visitors and exhibitors at dog shows. In conformation, he obtained title of Yugoslavian Champion and Croatian Champion.
In 1995. I imported from Germany my second male, Yosch von Bickesheim and together we got the BH and IPO I and titles of Croatian young champion and Croatian Klubsieger '98. He and Nestor were also very good stud dogs. My Yosch died in November 2006, at age of almost 12 years.
Now I have female named Fate Flash Rouse, she is now 2 years old. I show her to the title of young champion of Croatia and Slovenia and this year she placed V-5 in the intermediate class at the German Klubsieger show.
During past years I was often guest on TV and some radio shows, talking about our breed in positive manner, trying to explain to public how noble, friendly and great dogs Rottweilers are.
Beside I was starting first Rottweiler club in Croatia, trying to educate new owners about proper training and socializations and taking good care about our breed.
During past years I have had the pleasure to judge many Klubsieger shows and specialties for Rottweilers around the world including judging the Euro Dog show in Zagreb, and last year IFR in Argentina.
Each new judging is big pleasure for me, because I'm always very happy to see new Rottweilers and their owners and it is an honor to be part of the American Rottweiler Club’s First Sieger Show

I have had Rottweilers for over 30 years and currently now breeding under the kennel name Just Ask. Throughout my long career in Rottweilers I’ve been involved in almost every element of the breed. For many years I was on the central board of the Irish Rottweiler Club and held the position of chairman for five years.
Since moving to Sweden in 1995, along with breeding and judging Rottweilers I was a professional handler for several years. Upon a change of F.C.I-regulation I turned my hand to education and founded a company called Your Dog Sweden where I specialised in training dogs mainly through shaping and motivation.
Your Dog Sweden is also responsible for education regarding anatomy, all breed workshops and Rottweiler workshops worldwide. An added aspect of Your Dog Sweden is currently working on a long term project, a state of the art presentation with high quality film and graphics related to understanding movement, type and anatomy of the Rottweiler, which will come first in book-form and then DVD.
I’ve been judging Rottweilers since 1991 and have had the privilege to judge very many speciality shows and Sieger style shows all over the world.
Today my kennel Just Ask is successful on both a national and international basis, where my dogs and dogs that I’ve bred have been successfully competing mostly within Europe.
Very much looking forward to judging the ARC’s first Sieger Show and anticipated to be a successful event for the Rottweiler.
