Judging Credentials

He began his judge education in 1976, was first licensed on 6 July 1977, and received full all-breed credentials in 2015; he now judges across all ten FCI groups throughout the Nordic countries and internationally, and is fluent in English, French, German and Spanish.

Breeding — Kennel "Maximin"

Blidh von Schedvin's path into dogs began with a mixed-breed working dog; since mixed breeds could not compete in official trials at the time, he bought a Giant Schnauzer and began breeding under the prefix "Maximin," later focusing on Miniature Schnauzers with considerable show success. His Giant Schnauzer Riesengårdens XO was a notable winner in the late 1960s. Over the years he has also owned Beagles, Borzois, Airedale Terriers and Smooth Fox Terriers.
