Meet the Judges
Brian Binnerup, Chief Judge
Denmark
I live in the outskirts of Aarhus together with my girlfriend Anniqa, two of her daughters, four dogs, three cats, and various other animals. Our dogs are a mixed pack with a Finnish Lapphund, a Groenendael and two Shetland Sheepdogs. Having used to compete with Mera, the Finnish Lapphund, I have recently started fresh on training and competition with Fanta, a sheltie on a year and a half. In have been part of international championships since 2023 where I attended as team leader for the Danish Team. In 2024 I judged the Nordic Championship 2024 and this year (2025) I attended as secretary.
Charlotte Bøgvad
Denmark
I have been actively involved in dog sports since 2002, with a strong and ongoing passion for rally obedience since 2012. I have been a certified rally judge since 2023 and was Chief Judge in the Nordic Championship 2025. I share my life with two miniature schnauzers – my breed of choice throughout the years. They are both actively competing in rally. I competed in the very first Nordic rally competition, held in Denmark, with one of my previous dogs. When I am not training, competing, or judging, I work as a project manager, balancing my professional life with my commitment to the canine world.
Sandra Vonderstein
Germany
It is an honor for me to have been invited as a judge at the 3rd RO World Championship. I have been RO judge for 10 years and have judged competition throughout Germany and Czech Republic. Since 2024, I have also been judging the international class and have judged the World Cup qualifiers for 2025 in Germany. I have also accompanied our teams at both previous World Championships.
Lauma Zutere
Latvia
I have been active in dog sport since 2010. I am a Rally Obedience trainer and judge and became FCI judge in 2024. I also serve as Latvia’s delegate to the FCI ROB Commission. I have judged competitions across the Baltic States and was a judge secretary at the 2nd RO World Championship in Austria. Now I look forward to being part of the next World Championship and promote the positive spirit of Rally Obedience.
Vilemina Kradcikova
Czech Republic
With a BIG respect and humility I accepted the invitation to became one of the judges of the upcoming rally obedience World Championship in 2026!
Since 2015, I’m the president of the Czech Obedience Club, which covers both, Obedience and Rally Obedience sports in the Czech Republic, and an FCI Obedience (8y) & Rally Obedience (4y) judge. I love to watch the positive vibe of the team, smiling faces and wagging tails.
I try to build my courses in such fluent way but still with the possibility to test both technique and dynamics, trying to make them have their own unique "story".
I can’t wait the moment! I’m very pleased and honoured to be there! Thank you for this opportunity!
