Uhip Stories – Inspiration & Tips

Ellen Hedbys

"Ellen has an impressive list of achievements. She has competed in 17 Swedish Championships with eight medals, four Nordic Championships with six medals, and earned a team bronze at the European Championships for Young Riders. In 2022, she was awarded the prestigious Ajax Scholarship. She trained her U25 horse Sonnenkönigin all the way from novice level to Grand Prix."

Emma Edvardsson

"Emma actively competes in obedience at the highest level and has had the honour of representing Sweden as part of the national obedience team. As a dedicated breeder of border collies, she’s passionate about preserving and developing the breed’s working qualities. That’s also why she enjoys competing in herding – staying true to the breed’s origins and instinctive abilities."

Sandra Gisslar

"Over the past few years, I’ve had the privilege of competing successfully at the Swedish, Nordic, and World Championships – experiences I’m incredibly proud to carry with me."

Malou Grönwall

"I believe the greatest achievement is when the dog can be used in real, practical work – and of course, when the dog becomes an Approved Herding Dog. It’s a wonderful confirmation of the training and a title carried with pride."

Caroline Mähler

"With dogs being such a big part of her life, it felt only natural for Caroline to start breeding. She now runs Cefeus Kennel, where she raises Mittelspitzes and Australian Kelpies with care and dedication. One of the best things about having a kennel? All those magical moments with playful puppies and wagging tails."
