Team Sweden
Josefin & Pax
My name is Josefin, and by my side is Pax, a 5-year-old male Golden Retriever who is not only my best friend but also my constant companion. Pax and I share a deep bond and a mutual love for training.
I welcomed Pax into my life when he was 2 years old, and together, we embarked on our journey in Rally Obedience in 2020. In the year 2022, we achieved a significant milestone by winning the Youth Swedish Championships, a testament to the dedication and hard work we put into our training. In 2023, we had our first participation in the Swedish Championship.
Our story is a testament to the special connection and teamwork that can exist between a dedicated owner and a loyal canine companion. Pax and I are excited to face the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead in our shared journey of passion and competition.
Åsa & Czillah
Czillah the pumi and I, Åsa, live in the South of Sweden. We spend most our time together in the forest and out in the fields, the best recreation one can get! We both love being out in the nature!
We have once again managed to qualify for the Swedish National Team and are extremely proud and happy to once again represent Sweden at the Nordic Championship – now for the fourth time.
Last year in Finland, the Swedish Team won the gold medal!
Czillah and I won the Swedish Championship 2019 and 2023 we won the Swedish Championship for teams together with the National Team mates Erica Rosendahl/Mihn and Kickan Nicolic/Öijvin.
Czillah is the oldest in the four-legged gang, she turns 11 this year, but is still lively and happy!
Looking forward to yet another adventure that my little four-legged girl takes me to :)!
Hugs from Åsa and Czillah

Solveig & Silas
My name is Solveig and I live in Åmål with my husband and our four dogs, three Golden Retrievers and a Border Collie puppy. I work as a veterinarian in a small clinic in my town. In my free time I am active in the local Brukshundklubb /Dogclub sitting on the Board and contribute as a dog trainer/instructor.
My dog is Silas, a six year old working Golden Retriever. He holds both Obedience- and Rally Obedience Championships but is trained in additional dog sports like hunting-retrieving and heelwork to music. Silas strengths are his energy and willing to please attitude which makes him easy to work with. He is happy, hardworking, a swift learner and my best friend. Silas started his training his first year with a focus on basic exercises, heeling and learning to understanding words and body language which has made him very focused and open in his mind to be trained in many sports. Our focus has been on having fun in training and competing and to see where that takes us.
Susanne & Nilo
Hello!
I am Susanne and together with my husband Ralf, we have a family with three children who have left
home, and we also have the joy of being grandparent’s. Our home is located in Lindome, south of
Gothenburg.
I work full time in an office. During my free time, I enjoy spending time with my family, and we all
love spending time with our dogs. I also teach a lot of classes in rally obedience and love taking long
walks in the forest. On the weekdays you will find me at a real estate company, where I work in the
field of finance.
I have a wonderful 5.5-year-old Golden Retriever boy that goes by the name Blågul’s Rising Tide, or
“Nilo” for short. He’s a lively companion that loves training, adventures in the woods, cozy moments
on the couch, and goofing around with his 7-month-old son, Gonzo.
We’re not just focused on rally obedience; we’ve also ventured into other canine sports such as
hunting, tracking and obedience where we will excel to class 3. This reflects our commitment to
growth and challenge.
In tracking we achieved the title of tracking champion. And our most memorable moments was
winning the Swedish Championship in rally obedience in 2022.
Nilo and I look forward to sharing more wonderful memories and successes.
