Dogs have
always been present in my life.
I showed my
first collie at the big Stockholm show under Margret Osborne (legend in
collies) when I was 8 or 9. A blue ribbon (Very Good) was the result.
We had the
first collie litter in the house when I was 12.
Started up
Steadlyn Collies in the beginning of the 80s. When we separated I took the
prefix Rollington and toured the World in the name of dogs, working with/as
handler in the US, Brazil and Japan. Returning to Sweden, it felt very “small”
so I went back to Brazil during the 90s
I have not
been the most productive breeder, but have produced champions in Europe, North
and South America
I have been
involved in other breeds breeding/handling; Cockerspaniel, Tibetan spaniel,
Beagle, Drever, Shetland Sheepdog, Grand Danois to mention some
I returned to
Scandinavia in 1999, and Denmark welcomed me and took me in for judging
training. 22 years later, I fulfilled my Allround qualifications.
I have judged
on all continents.
