Mach Lisbeth, Schweiz

I have lived with dogs since my childhood. Our family has always had some miniatyre schnauzers for catching mice and rats in our thoroughbred horses stable. A brown miniatyre poodle came into my life 1961 and became my first international champion. That is how I got interested in dog shows. Before my wedding in 1968, we were joined by a borzoi, “Orlows Kafkas”, and he also won the title of a international champion. I have bred more than 65 int.ch., 25 world ch., many best in show winners and group winners, all under my kennel name “Superstar”. Also to be mentioned the first swiss bred American champion “Superstar’s Bolero” handled by Densis Mc Coin. At present my fourth borzoi, “Int.Ch. Sirhan Pushkin Antonovitch”, from Canada, lives together with three miniatyre poodles.

Fascinated by the show atmosphere, I decided to go into judging. In 1969 I passed the examination by the Swiss Kennel Club and received my license as a poodle judge. I continued my training and shortly afterwards I was allowed to judge other lovely breeds. Since 2008 I’m an allrounder and special judge of 50 different breeds. I suppose that the excellent quality of the poodles which I myself have bred and handled for many years in Europe helped me to obtain in confidence as a judge.

For the last 20 years I have had the opportunity to judge at the most important shows in Europe and other parts of the world. After 30 years of judging I’m still full of motivation when I stand in the ring. I love and enjoy seeing all these wonderful dogs and it is very exciting to compare in quality between countries or even continents

Marshall Maurice. England

Maurice was introduced to the world of dogs, Sealyhams and Wire Fox Terriers in particular, by Mrs V.R. Walwyn (Coryton), when still a Birmingham schoolboy in the mid 1940’s, and since that time he has been breeding or showing his own dogs, handling for other people or judging almost without a break. Initially the Coryton kennel loaned him a Sealyham on breeding terms, but quickly Maurice came to the conclusion that his preference was for the Wire Fox Terrier, and it was in this breed that he attained recognition. The first litter produced Winford Warcry, an she launched the start into championship show competition. It was hoped that Winford would be apporoved as his affix, but this was not to be, instead Whittingford was granted in 1948. At this time it was possible for youngsters to gain canine knowledge from a host of top handlers, so Maurice was able to learn the basics of the show game from such handlers as Tommy Brampton and Les Atkinson, and it was actually the former who piloted the “Warcry” granddaughter, Whittingfor Wistful to her first challenge certificate and best in show at the National Terrier in 1952. Soon Maurice ventured into handling for other owners, the first Scotties shown being the litter sister puppies, Seccombe Satisfaction & Simone. Later these were taken over by Tommy Brampton who started them on the road to fame. Satifsfaction won two C.C.S before changing into the ownership of George Jackson (Jokyl), where she gained her title, while Simone retired with one C.C. In 1960 Maurice decided to become a professional handler and living in the centre of England he was ideally situated for travelling to the many shows. At home and on the Continent Maurice had a successful career, handling terriers, a number of gundog breeds an all three sizes of Schnauzers to numerous top awards. Among his clientele was Mrs Grover Williams, who owned the successful “Ramby” kennel of Scottish Terriers in France. Unfortunately, on the way to the 1969 Schnauzer Club of Great Britain Championship show they were involved in a fatal motor accident, from which his wife Gloria did not survive. Maurice sustained cuts to his hands, which curtailed his trimming capabilities, and so brought his handling vocation to a close. Still committed to a livelihood with dogs, the following year Maurice entered into a partnership with June Ellwood, whom he subsequently married in 1972. The kennels were converted for boarding and only his own dogs were shown. However, this diversification enabled him to commence judging dogs at Championship Shows, a pursuit at that time not open to professional handlers. His first judging appointment had been in 1959, a Sanction Show for the Birmingham Gundog and Terrier Club, and he embarked on awarding certificates with an assignment for Miniature Schnauzers at the 1972 Chester Championship Show. Since this time ha has been approved to judge many breeds, including the Terrier Group, his first being the East of England Championship Show 1979, where he awarded the Scottie, Ch Mayson Canasta top spot. His initial Scottish Terrier engagement was Paignton 1982 where his principal winners were Ch Noonsun Troubadour and Ch Kennelgarth Miranda. Officiating at the S.T.B.E.A. was his eleventh time for this breed. In his kennels, Maurice has bred Wires, his first love, Welsh, Lakelands, Standard Schnauzers and Scottish Terriers (which his wife June prefers). Furzleigh Mainly Millie was the founder of the latter breed, followed som ten years later by Stuane Gypsy Queen. She mated to the Kennelgarth studs produced several promising puppies including Swed CH Paddinton Bear of Kennelgarth, and his litter sister, Whittingford Warwick Jewel was the dam of S.A Ch Jack Spratt of Kennelgarth and Morris Dancer of Kennelgarth.

Matejcic Jasna, Kroatien

Sedan barndomen har jag omgivits av djur – först var det hästar och lite därefter hundarna. Min första hund var en Old English Sheepdog – Bobtail. En ras jag ägt och fött upp många champions av. Sedan 1998 är det Shih tzu jag äger och föder upp. Jag har haft många framgångar, vunnit åtskilliga BIS samt titeln ”TOP Shih tzu genom tiderna” i Kroatien. 2007 skaffade jag ännu en underbar ras – Lhasa apso som jag också haft fantastiska framgångar med på flera prestigefulla utställningar. Under prefixet Dilemma har jag fött upp mer än 60 champions världen över. En önskedröm sedan länge gick i uppfyllelse 2013 när jag skaffade ännu en underbar ras – Tax. Det blev en flygande start med en reserv World Junior Winner och en Junior World Champion vinnare på rasen. 1994 blev jag auktoriserad utställningsdomare och har dömt runt om i större delen av Europa, Ryssland, Ukraina och Vitryssland. Jag är vice ordförande i klubben för Tibetanska raser och VD för avelskommitté. Sedan 2012 är jag också medlem i Kroatisk Kennelklubbens avelskommitté för bruksraser.

Merati Lorena,

International F.C.I. Judge

I am a poodles specialist judge. I love stilish poodles with a great movement .

I can judge also: Bergamasco Sheepdog, Neapolitan Mastiff, Airedale terrier, Wire fox Terrier, Smooth Fox Terrier, Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier, Maltese Shih Tzu, Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, French Bouledogue

I have my kennel name Samarcanda since 1983 in Italy , then from some years I have in Spain the kennel name Es Samarcanda. Samarcanda is the name of a beautiful Italian song of the 70’s , talking about an old legend, of a horse . Horses being my second love , in fact at home we have Friesian horses too I had my first poodle (a black miniature) when I was 13, and my first standard I was 18, with this dog I imported from Germany I won a lot in Italy and abroad. Breeding him with a bitch with English line I had my first Samarcanda litter in 1983. When I met my husband I started show and breed Airedale terriers ,what we still do now. Few people they know that in the past I bred some litters of Neapolitan Mastiffs and smooth fox terrier making many champions As I told my first poodle, the miniature ,was a pet , I was a teenagers and had great fun with him teaching him a lot of different plays , he was like a circus dog . As I wonted a show dog I imported from Germany my first black standard” Black Bajazzo von der Weissen Bircke” He was a dog with a lot of temperament, very sweet but also a great guardian , he was really a joker, as the meaning of his German name it is, he had a great fun in the ring and I can remember once ,after the winning of a BIS he was running free in the ring barking to all the world ”watch at me !!!” . After that time he was always standing serious while the judgment , but has he understand it was finished he started to bark trying to run away free in the ring to collect applause. In my home I have 15 standard poodles from one year up to eleven, 3 boys an 12 girls , in black, white , brown and silver. On add several other of my dogs live with some friends or related of me, as my sister Sonia has two boys with her. I do this because , as I can give a good home, with a lot of love, to my dogs , I wont they be the loved child of someone slipping on a soft sofa. Poodles are not dogs to keep in a garden , we can do that with terrier that they don’t need so much physical contact with the owner . In my breeding program I use different lines, but some one of my poodles have behind on the mother line 6th generations of Samarcanda born in my house From many years I groom and show my dogs by myself, being a professional groomer, and international judge of grooming competition, but during the time many friends that are groomers too, having my poodles, help me keeping them in condition and bathing and grooming their dogs before the shows. Probably poodle is the most spectacular show breed, entering in the ring , a typical good poodle must catch the eye , because his structure, his movement, his style and also for his ”flashing dress” . Of course a good handling and a good feeling with the dog can give him more value, but a lot of coat and a super handling can not turn a second -rate dog in a great champion. Being a judge from few year, because I spent all my life showing, I am very proud because in a short time I collected several invitations from many European country and from USA When I watch poodles in a ring I love arrogance and style in them, in my opinion the movement is very important in such a show breed. I don’t like shy dogs, with the tail down, it can happen just to a puppy at the first shows, but such a happy breed must always show his happiness to be in a human company.

Meseguer Bernal Daniel , Spanien

Bullterrieruppfödare sedan 1975 med kennelnamnet el Cornijal.

I have had a lifetime passion for Labradors, my first show dog being a wedding present from my sister in 1975. After having my four children my husband and I purchased Hazelbeach Hoorah Henry of Llanstinan, a chocolate dog of Sandylands breeding. We also Went to the Bradking kennel and took ownership of Bradking Woody of Llanstinan, and Bradking Hannah of Llanstinan, brother and sister of breed record holder Bradking Hugo. These dogs are the Foundation of the Llanstinan Kennel. I have bred two UK Champions, Sh Ch Llanstinan Llewelyn JW, and Sh Ch Llanstinan Buzby Bowstones JW, and I have bred Champions overseas in all Three colours. My first judging appointment was in 1994 and I have judged at Championship show level in the UK and abroad on many occasions. Thank you so much for inviting me to judge Labradors in Sweden, I am highly honoured.

I live in Leicestershire in the Midlands of England, I have a home with my daughter and her boyfriend who are both keen dog judges and owners. We live with English Springer Spaniels, Skye Terriers, Cavalier King Charles SpanieIs, King Charles Spaniels, Papillons and a Standard Longhaired Dachshund, and a work with a rescue Border Terriers. I have a one other child my son who is married and has my two granddaughters now, 4 and 5 years old.

I have been interested in dogs from a very early age and started with a cross Terrier/Shetland sheepdog who I competed with in obedience. As a 21st birthday present I was given a German Shepherd Bitch puppy who was Obedience bred, but at a show she went Best Puppy in Show and the bug was bitten to breed showing. I then purchased two more show bred German Shepherd bitches at this time I had already met my husband to be who was connected to the famous Pencloe English Springer Spaniel kennel and as a present we were given our first English Springer Spaniel in the early 1960s and campaigned her successfully in the show ring. We took out the affix FEORLIG with the Kennel Club from a visit during our honeymoon to the Isle of Skye where we stayed in a hamlet called Feorlig. Through personal circumstances our showing was stopped until we were given a beautiful English Springer Spaniel bitch (called Tilly) Pencloe Clearway of Feorlig and we restarted showing and breeding.

I started my judging career in August 1974 at Open show level judging my own breed the English Springer Spaniel. I judge all the breeds within our 7 groups at Open show level and all the 7 Open Show Groups, and Open Best in Shows. I also judge all the Gundog Breeds in the UK to Championship level, plus the Gundog Group and Best in Show at All Breeds General Championship show. I have judged Internationally around the World from Barbados to Africa to Australia and most all of Europe judging all their groups at Championship level and Best in Show, and judging FCI groups 7/ 8. I have passed most all the required exams in the UK so far.

I have bred and owned 16 ENGLISH SPRINGER SPANIELS Champions. With my daughter we have bred 6 PAPILLON Champions.
With my daughter we have bred 6 SKYE TERRIER Champions. I have owned 1 GERMAN SHEPHERD DOG Champion, several English Springer Spaniels, Skye Terriers, Papillons, Cocker Spaniels, Basset Hounds and a Welsh Springer Spaniel that have won CCs, RCCs, JW, ShCMs.

I thank you for the invitation and I am very much looking forward to my judging appointment and seeing many of your lovely dogs.

Mjelde Eva, Norge

Jeg kommer fra Bergen, som ligger på vestkysten av Norge, og har vært ”hundtokig” hele mitt liv. Ble først autorisert i 1975 og dømmer nå nesten 90 forskjellige raser innen 4 ulike grupper. Jeg har hatt gleden og æren av å bli invitert til å dømme i omkring 30 ulike land, deriblant Amerika, Australia, Russland og Sør-Afrika. Selv oppdretter jeg labrador under kennelnavnet ”Surprising” og hittil har 88 hunder av mitt oppdrett blitt Norske utstillings-Champions. Jeg ble både glad og begeistret for igjen å bli invitert til denne fantastiske utstillingen og gleder meg veldig til å dømme disse rasene.

Molin Ann-Christin, Sverige 

Ann-Christin Molin f.Wendelsjö, växte upp på landet i Bohuslän bland kor, hästar och hundar. All fritid under tonåren ägnades åt hundar. Den första egna hunden var en airedaleterrier (f-1959), som hette Skogsbrynets Peggy. Med henne tränade och tävlade Ann-Christin i bruks i Uddevallas Brukshundklubbs färger.

Sin andra airedaleterrier köpte Ann-Christin av Ingela Nilsson; blivande Int.Ch Gay Gordon´s Babycham (f.-68), BIG-vinnare och Årets Airedale 1969. Ingela rekommenderade Jokylkenneln i England som förkovring i den ädla trimkonsten. Där träffade Ann-Christin Mary Swash första gången på sommarlovet 1968 och återvände sedan 1970 för att stanna hela det året. När Ann-Christin kom hem ifrån England började hon som yrkesmässigt trimmare och handler av terriers, stationerad i Göteborg. Under 6 mån. 1974-75 åkte hon till USA och Peter Green för vidareutbildning.

Ann-Christins kennel Tanwood, har alltid haft en liten kvalitets uppfödning. Första kullen föddes 1963. Den mest framgångsrika uppfödningen hittills är tiken Int. Ch Tanwood Not in a Million, som blev Årets Terrier 1975. Ann-Christin har trimmat fram ett stort antal champions, främst bland strävhårig foxterrier och westie, men också flera airedale, kerry blue och welshterrier.

Som trimmare krönte Ann-Christin sin karriär med att westien Int.Ch Gaywyn Dandini vann Hundsports Guldhund 1976, och som både trimmare och handler vann Ann-Christin BIS på Stora Stockholm -76, med welshen Ch Groveview Red Rum. Därefter importerade Ann-Christin tillsammans med Sonija Johansson, kennel Malmängen en airedalehanvalp från England, sedermera Int.Ch Darinkum Scene Stealer (f.-76). Han blev James med alla och är än i dag Skandinaviens vinstrikaste Airedale genom tiderna, med bl.a. 3 SKK-BIS och 25 BIG-vinster (inkl. SvTekl-BIS) på sin meritlista.
Året 1977 sadlade Ann-Christin om och gifte sig med travtränare Lars Molin, Ekerö. Hon blev hästskötare åt de travhästar som maken tränade, och det gjorde hon t.o.m. sommaren 2004, då maken blev allvarligt sjuk. När de fick barn och deras pojkar var små, var hon mycket engagerad i deras skola och waldorfpedagogiken . Idag arbetar hon med att laga ekologisk och vegetarisk mat på en Waldorfförskola i Stockholm.
För att inte ge upp hundintresset, utbildade Ann-Christin sig 1977 till exteriördomare och blev auktoriserad 1981. Hon dömer numera de flesta av terrieraserna två till tre gånger om året i Norden. Rasklubben Airedale Terrier Gillet har periodvis engagerat henne mycket

Ann-Christin Molin, Sverige

Ann-Christin Wendelsjö, som hon hette som ogift, är uppvuxen på landet i Bohuslän bland kor, hästar och hundar m m. All fritid under tonåren ägnades åt hundar. Den första ”egna” hunden var en airedaleterrier (f-1959).Hon hette Skogsbrynets Peggy och med henne tränade och tävlade Ann-Christin i bruks. De var aktiva i Uddevallas Brukshundklubb. Det tyckte hon var mycket lärorikt. Sin andra airedaleterrier köpte hon av Ingela Nilsson, Int Ch Gay Gordon´s Babycharm (f-68), BIG-vinnare och Årets Airedale 1969. Kenneln Tanwood som är Ann-Christins kennelnamn, födde upp sin första kull 1963. Den mest framgångsrika uppfödningen hittills är tiken Int ch Tanwood Not In a Million, vilken blev Årest Terrier 1975.

Från England köptes Int ch Darinkum Scene Stealer (f-76). Han är än i dag Skandinaviens mest vinstrika Airedale genom tiderna.

Under åren 1972-76 var Ann-Christin yrkesmässig trimmare och handler. Hon utbildades i England av Mary Swash och i USA av Peter Green. Hon har trimmat fram ett stort antal champions främst bland strävhårig foxterrier och westie, men också flera airedale, kerry blue och welsh terrier. Som trimmare krönte hon sin karriär med att westien Int ch Gaywyn Dandini vann Hundsports Guldhund 1976 och som både trimmare och handler vann hon BIS på Stora Stockholm-76 med welshen Ch Groveview Red Run.

Sedan 1977 har Ann-Christina arbetat som hästskötare åt de travhästar maken Lars tränat, men 2004 började hon att arbeta på en Waldorfförskola.

1981 blev hon auktoriserad domare. Dömer numera de flesta terrierraserna två till tre gånger om året. Ann-Christin har också dömt i Danmark, Norge och Finland.

AnnChristin Molin

Molin Nils

Svensk allrounder som tycker om alla raser, även om jag från början är brukshunddomare. Vilket jag betraktar som en fördel eftersom de höga fordringarna på anatomi sitter där. Har dömt i mer än 30 år. Dömer globalt och för mycket. Min fru föder upp Tibetansk Spaniel.

Moran Anthony, Irland

Mitt hundengagemang inleddes 1978 när jag började visar en Pyreneiska Mountain Dog. År 1981 importerade jag min första Tibetansk spaniel och den första Avigdor kullen föddes 1985. Sedan dess har det blivit 36 champions med 72 titlar i hela världen – inklusive 13 GB Champions på tibetansk spaniel. Vi har blivit BIR på Crufts 2013 (Griffon Bruxellois), 2010 (Tibetansk spaniel), BIM 2007 (Tibetansk spaniel) och tagit Res CC på Crufts 2000, 2004, 2009, 2011 och 2012. Dessutom har vi visat fram ett antal raser till Championat på bl.a.  miniatyr pudel, korthårig Chihuahua, Japanska Chins & Griffon Bruxellois (alla tre sorter). Vi har uppfödning av både Tibetansk spaniel och Lhasa apso är under kennelnamnet Avigdor och Griffoner under prefixet Castafiore. Jag har dömt i Irland, Storbritannien, Finland, Sverige, Norge, Danmark, Tyskland, Frankrike, Tjeckien, Belgien, Slovenien, Holland, Schweiz och Australien på såväl nationella som Internationella utställnigar. Jag älskar att döma i Sverige och jag ser verkligen fram emot att göra det igen.

My involvement in dogs started in 1978 when I started to show a Pyreneans Mountain Dog. I imported my first Tibetan Spaniel from the UK in 1981. The first Avigdor Tibetan Spaniel litter was born in 1985 and I made up my first home-bred Irish Champion in 1987. I have also been involved in other breeds, mainly Miniature Poodles, Rottweillers, Lhasa Apsos, Griffons Bruxellois, Chihuahuas & Japanese Chin’s. I have been involved with many clubs and associations during …my 37 years in dogs.

I have been judging at Championship level in Ireland since 1989. I am passed to judge the entire Group 5 (Spittz & Primitive breeds) &Group 9 (Toy & Companion breeds). I am currently progressing through Group 10 (Sight Hounds). I am judging my first BIS All Breed Championship show in 2011. I have judged in Finland, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, the Czech Republic, Belgium, Slovenia, France, Germany and Australia at both championship and International level. I have made-up / bred 36 champions with 61 titles world wide– including 14 GB Champions Tibetan Spaniels. We have been Top TS Breeder in the UK in 2010 & 2013 and In 2010, Avigdor Tibetan Spaniels were Top Tibetan Spaniel &Top Puppy UK & have been BOB at Crufts 2010, BOS 2007 and taken the Res CC at Crufts in 2000, 2004, 2009 & 2011

Morelius Anders

Domare på Tax sedan 1972. Mina föräldrar hade under många år framgångsrik uppfödning av korthårig tax. Jag är gruppallrounder på 4 och 6. Jag är mycket för det informella i ringen, i specialklubbs sammanhang har jag öppen kritik och tycker att kommunikation med utställarna är viktig. Födde upp Goldenretriever under 70-talet. Just nu är det rasen Tibetansk Terrier som finns i hemmet. Utanför hundsporten ägnar jag mig åt sång och musik.

Mouchart-Kleingeld Loes (NL)

In 1967, when I was 17, I became the owner of my first dog, a Shetland Sheepdog, and since then I have been loyal to this breed. It is also the breed with which my husband and I bred a few litters under our kennel name “Van de Dierenriem”. Over the years an American Cocker Spaniel, a rough Collie and a smooth Collie amongst others became part of our lives. At the moment we still have two Shelties.

My hobby – all that involves dogs – has been the motivation to become a show judge. In 1997 I passed my exam for my first breed, the Shetland Sheepdog, and since then I have been appointed to judge all British sheepdogs as well as the Australian Cattle Dog, the Australian Stumpy Tail Cattle Dog, the Australian Kelpie and the Australian Shepherd. Until a few years ago, I was also very active in obedience and agility competitions, but nowadays I am active as a ring steward and of course as a judge.

As a judge I have visited many countries but my judging in Australia of the Shetland Sheepdogs, and especially the Cattle Dogs and the Kelpies in their country of origin was definitely one of the highlights of my judging career. That together with the judging of Australian Shepherds at the European Dog Show in Brno. But I also have lots of lovely memories of the specialties I have judged in different countries. Concerning my other canine activities I can tell you that together with a colleague judge I have been responsible for writing an interpretation of the Shetland Sheepdog’s breed standard which was published in the Handbook of the Dutch Sheltie club as well as the interpretation of the Australian Shepherd’s breed standard which was published in the jubilee book of the Dutch Australian Shepherd Club. In the past I have been a board member of a canine club and since 2012.

I am the secretary of the Dutch Show Judges Association and in this role I have been closely involved in the examinations for the different breeds.

To summarize I am a judge, have been a breeder and sportswoman together with my dogs but above all I am a dog lover.

Mustonen KimmoMy name is Kimmo Mustonen and I became a dog show judge in 2010. Today I am authorised to judge groups 2, 3, 4 and 9. I have also started to extend my authorities to groups six and ten. I have a life-long experience of dogs.

My own breed is the Border Terrier. In my childhood home, we had Saint Bernards, hunting spitz and Finnish Hounds. Thereby, I have spent my whole life with dogs. I went to dog shows and hunting trials already as a little boy. I have been active as a ring steward and served in different dog clubs. Now I am a member of Finnish Kennel Club’s Board and the chair of the Finnish Kennel Club’s Show and Judges Committee. I have also been a Board member of the Finnish Dog Show Judges’ Society and the chair for the Border Terrier club in Finland.

I am from Tohmajärvi, North Karelia, and spent the first 20 years of my life there. During that time, I spent a lot of time hunting with my father. I still have my hunting licence as a remembrance of that time. I used to serve as a field judge and a steward at hunting trials for hounds.

Every now and then, we train our Border Terriers and take them to earthdog trials. Dog shows have however always been the form of activity closest to my heart. Already as a little boy, I sat by the ring and dreamt of being a judge. Now that dream has come true.

I breed dogs together with my sisters Kati, Outi and Anna under the kennel name Ommik’s. We are going to continue breeding in a small scale also in the future, hopefully still maintaining a good quality. We have imported several Border Terriers from England to be used in breeding.

I am happy to have had the chance of becoming a judge – it is not something that is self-evident. I consider being a judge as a responsible job – one must be faithful to the origins and the standards of the breeds. I want to learn the breeds I judge thoroughly. I have got acquainted with terriers in England, the home country of several terrier breeds. I still visit dog shows there, and last year I got to judge my own breed there for the first time. I have been well received as a judge. I have learned a lot of many breeds from many experienced judges. In addition to Finland, I have judged in 16 countries so far, of which the country furthest away was Australia. I take up new challenges as a judge with big enthusiasm. I spend my nights and weekends studying new breeds, being at dog shows, or serving in positions of trust. Dogs are not just a hobby. They are a way of life.

Mäkinen Maija, Finland

Min egen ras är West Highland White terrier. Har haft westies i över 30 år och min första valpkull 1973, men har inte haft någon stor uppfödning. Jag har varit aktiv i Finska Westieklubben och har bl.a gjort klubbens tidning i många år.

Jag blev auktoriserad domare först 1999. Är således en ”ung” domare. För närvarande har jag rättighet att döma alla terrierraser. Förra året dömde jag för första gången i Sverige på Östsvenska’s utställning i oktober.
