Team Leader Anneli Kilen Kjeserud

My name is Anneli Kilen Kjeserud and I live with my husband, two kids and my two dogs, Jax who is a working golden retriever and Luca who is a kleiner münsterländer. I have been competing in rally obedience since 2014 with my two staffordshire bull terriers and one kleiner münsterländer. In Norway I have been a judge in Rally Obedience since 2018. As teamleader I want to be a support for the members of the Norwegian National Team so they can perform the best possible way and also have a good experience during the first FCI World Championship in Rally Obedience.

Ingvill Viddal & Turbo

My name is Ingvill Viddal and my dog’s name is Turbo. He is a shetland sheepdog and his life consists of working and the more he gets to do, the more he enjoys life. He has a lot of power, which is why he’s so much fun to work with. We have two 2. places in the Norwegian Championship.

Audhild Mæland & Molly

I live in Stavanger, Norway, with my husband and our two dogs. We both retired this year and are happy to spend more time with family and the dogs.

I have competed in different dog sports for almost 45 years. In 2017 I was introduced to Rally Obedience and fell in love with this sport where age and breed does not matter.

Molly is a friendly dog who loves everybody. She is easy to train and always tries to do her best. She loves treats, toys and me. Molly has won the Norwegian national Championship four times and has been a part of the Norwegian rally obedience national team since 2019. Her best international result is fourth place in the Nordic Championship.

Mette Nilsen & Giggs

My name is Mette and I will be participating with my standard poodle, Giggs.  Giggs is 8 years old and is a Nordic Rally-Obedience Champion. This is our fourth time on the Norwegian national team.

Lise-Lotte Gundersen & Sonic

I’m Lise-Lotte Gundersen. I live in Oslo with my husband and two working golden retrievers. The oldest is retired (but was on the first Norwegian team in 2019). Now my youngest Sonic qualified for the team for the first time.

Sonic is a 3-year-old happy-go-lucky guy who really lives up to his name. He loves to work and has been competing in the highest class in Norway since fall 2022. This year he is attending his second Norwegian championship and his first international championships. Sonic is still a quite unexperienced and childish dog so this is going to be a very exiting fall!

Stine Strander & Keira

My name is Stine Strander and I compete with Keira, an 8 year old Norwegian Buhund. We have been on Norway’s National team since 2019, when Keira was the reserve dog. Our best result is silver in the Nordic Championship 2023. And we have two 2. places and a 3. place in the Norwegian Championship. Our greatest strength is a very close bond. Keira loves training rally obedience, and she is very pleased with herself when she thinks she has done a good job.

Reserve 1: Ingunn Finne Reenskaug & Echo

Hi, we are Ingunn and Echo. We live nearby Kristiansand in south of Norway. I’m a civil engineer and Echo is joining me at work every day. Echo is a Happy go lucky type of dog who’s always in for an adventure. He is my partner in crime. Besides RallyO we do hunting and tracking. But our favourite activity is hiking, preferably multi-day hikes high up in the mountains. Echo really loves everyone and everything.
