Annika’s ’About me’:
I have been involved on all levels in pedigree dogs for more than half a century under the kennel name Whisborne . I’ve produced over 180 champions in several breeds, mainly English Springers Spaniels and Lhasa Apsos, but I have also been involved and made up champions in American Cocker Spaniels (my original breed in which I became involved in the early 1970’s) , Shih-Tzus and several other breeds. In 2006, I won Top Dog all breeds in Norway with a Shih-tzu. However, the Springers have been particularly successful and include group-winners all over Europe, as well as four FCI World Winners. Ch Whisborne Devil in Disguise, also a Springer, was one of our best dogs and his record includes group wins at FCI World Shows . The Lhasas have also been successful at the highest level all over the world and have won numerous Best in Shows at championship show level in Scandinavia. Nowadays, the focus is very much on Dandie Dinmont Terriers, and dogs bred here have already won top awards including Terrier groups.
The Whisborne prefix will be celebrated its 60th anniversary in 2024.
Judging has taken me to all corners of the world. I was first licensed to judge by my home country Norway in 1984 and became a very active allrounder in 2001, having regularly judged at major FCI shows and specialties on all continents and at FCI World and European Dog Shows. More recently, I’ve judged English Springers at Southern Counties Championship Show, England, which is my breed’s country of origin.
In 2026, I’ll have the honour of judging BEST IN SHOW at the FCI European Dog Show in Stockholm, Sweden.
