In my daily work, I am employed by Oslo kulturskole. In addition, I work with and train many dogs.
I currently have 3 dogs: the German Shepherd Barvatorps BeLeiah (Leah), born 24.03.2014
Working Springer Ometysts M (Khanti), born 7 March 2021
Working Springer also from Kennel Ometyst, Ometyst's Prinsesse Mulan (Kela), born 24 April 2025
I train extensively in search and rescue, as well as various subjects within Spesialsøk. I have held a certified rescue dog qualification in NRH (Norske Redningshunder) for 3.5 years
Leah is trained in Spesialsøk, working trials and rescue work, and is in working class C, and is a B certified rescue dog. She holds an Intermediate title as a Tracking Dog C, SpH C. Leah trains and competes in Nose work and has several titles and progressions there. Khanti is trained in Spesialsøk, working trials, hunting and Nose work. Khanti holds a certified Hunting Aptitude Test (JAL) and water retrieving test BK. For me, it is not primarily about participating in tests and competitions, but about training dogs.

Akela b. 07.03.2008 – 28.05.2016 was my first German Shepherd. She was a highly skilled search dog, and worked operationally in Spesialsøk for a period of three years. She was an expert in tricks, and a fantastic dog in many ways. R.I.P. Akela. Rashka (Kennel Hajen Håp) 21.05.2011 – 28.03.2022 Certified rescue dog for 3.5 years. We had several operational search operations together, a fantastic tracking and search and rescue dog, several titles in Nose work, obedience class 2. Rashka was first and foremost the dog who taught me to navigate in all kinds of weather, get to know the rescue service, and everything that comes with it. We had a fantastic time together in Norske Redningshunder and participated in many operations. R.I.P. Rashka
