Outi Hermiö (Finland): A

I have been involved with working dogs since 1993. I started training and dog sport at Finnish national disciplines, tracking and search. At the same time also international trials IPO and FH have been close to my heart. I have been competing in IPO and IPO-FH at both Finnish championships and world championships level. Although my own breed is at the moment malinois I value highly individuals of any breed who have strong drives, will to work and balanced nature. I am judge (IPO, FH, IPO-FH, BH) since 2012. In addition to smaller trials I have judged Finnish championships in FH for Dobermanns and Boxers; Finnish championships in IPO for Rottweilers, Giant Schnauzers and Belgian Shepherds; Finnish IPO and IPO-FH championships for all breeds; CACIT IPO in Belgium, FH competition in Estonia and FMBB World Championships for Belgian shepherds 2017 in Germany (part A at World Cup and part B in finals). I am very grateful for the invitation to judge tracking at Estonian IPO championships. It is a honour and pleasure to be able to see the work of dogs and dog handlers at such close distance.
