Mr. Hans Almgren
FCI JUDGE
Hans Almgren was born into a hunting family in northern Sweden, where dogs were an essential part of everyday life. From an early age, he accompanied his father on hunts ranging from elk to waterfowl, gaining firsthand experience of the deep partnership between hunter and dog.
His early admiration for the Norwegian Elkhound, known for its exceptional elk-herding abilities, and the Swedish Hamiltonstövare laid the foundation for what would become a lifelong dedication to purebred dogs. Though he continues to maintain his family forest home in northern Sweden and participates in hunting when possible, his professional path soon expanded into breeding, exhibiting, and judging at the highest international levels.
Hans began keeping Shih Tzu in the mid-1970s and started breeding in 1979. His first kennel prefix was Bombers, later continuing under the prefix Adorenaline. Over the decades, he has bred and owned 23 Champions, 3 World Winners, Sweden’s first Champion of Champions winner (1983), A Veteran of Veterans winner (1994), and a Sweden’s top-winning Toy/Utility dog for nearly ten consecutive years in the late 1980s and 1990s.
One of his dogs still holds a remarkable record with over 55 FCI Group 9 First Placements.
Earlier in his career, he also owned and exhibited Rottweiler, Briard, and currently owns a Wirehaired Dachshund.
Certified as a judge by the Swedish Kennel Club in 1995, Hans Almgren has since built an extensive and respected international judging career.
He is an FCI All-Breed (Allrounder) Judge, and a Best in Show Judge (since June 2015)
He has officiated at prestigious events including the World Dog Show and the European Dog Show, as well as numerous championship shows across Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia, and the Americas.
In the United Kingdom, he has been entrusted to award Challenge Certificates in nine breeds. He has judged extensively in countries including Japan, China, Thailand, the Philippines, South Africa, Russia, Australia, New Zealand, Indonesia, Canada, Israel, Brazil, Lebanon, and Vietnam.
Alongside his distinguished career in the dog world, Hans spent 35 years as an IT manager in Stockholm. In this role, he led international teams responsible for maintaining IT systems for insurance companies, banks, and pension funds across multiple countries.
