According to sources, ten teams competed in the obedience competition at Sunnes brukshundklubb. All competitors were adults except for eight-year-old Signe Westin. Signe Westin won first place with her grandmother's dog Vilja and now holds the title of club champion.
The specific date or timeframe of the competition has not been disclosed. " Her grandmother, Gunbritt Westin, was one of the other competitors at the club. Gunbritt Westin was emotional and proud, stating, "It was not far from tears there, you get so proud.
I absolutely did not think I would win, there are bigger people who have competed in bigger classes and so on.
" Gunbritt Westin is active in Sunnes brukshundklubb and runs courses. She wants more children to try dog obedience sport, noting, "We have no more children in the club. But we hope that there will be more.
" Whether the club has set specific dates for trial days for children is not yet known. " After the win, Signe and Vilja moved up from 'start class' to 'class 1'. Signe and Vilja will travel with her grandmother to Jämtland this summer to compete in the youth Swedish championships, though the exact location or venue in Jämtland has not been specified.
It was not far from tears there, you get so proud. You think that it's my grandchild and my dog, and they have done this together.
We have no more children in the club. But we hope that there will be more. We might have one or two days that they can try with a dog.
If they have no dog, they can borrow Vilja or Ronja.
