I am a poodle breeder of of all sizes since 1993 under the Kudos prefix. I have showed dogs to many top awards, such as BIS at Cru s and the WDS with the white standard poodle Ch Topscore Contradic on. I have owned, showed or bred Top Dog all breeds 8 mes in various countries. We bred three black miniature poodles that won the group at WDS’s. The latest one was Ch Kudos Firework that was R-BIS at WDS in Milan. 

I have co-owned many top winning pomeranians that won groups and all breed BIS’s. Ch Belliver Unexpected Dream won the toy group at Cru s. I have also co owned several top winning afghan hounds together with their breeders of the Abica's kennel. I showed Ch Abica's Flying Tiger to Speciality BIS and several other nice wins on the way to top sighthound in Denmark. 

I became a judge for all breeds in 2025. I have judged many speciali es all over the world. To judge at the Poodle Club of America Na onal Speciality was very memorable as the first non-american for 50 years and the youngest judge ever. In 2023, I judged Saluki and Sloughi at the big Finnish sighthound speciality, Kartago. To judge at breed speciality shows is always a great honour and something I look forward to. You usually get to see dogs of all ages from puppies to the veterans which is very sa sfying and educa onal for any judge. 

I have been working with dogs many years both as a professional groomer and currently as a handling and grooming instructor and teacher at Mikael Nilsson Showdogs. I also have a podcast: Vinn Mer på hundutställning med Mikael Nilsson Showdogs.
