My name is Kine Kristiansen. I’m 21 years old and I live in Sogn in the west part of Norway.
Since I was 8 years old I have been to dogshows,and at age 10 I started handling  Cavaliers.
At first just as a juniorhandler,but pretty soon I was able to enter the real competition ring.
In 2002 I qualified for the Norwegian Juniorhandling Championship.
A very golden memory for me is when my own Cavalier,Magic Charm’s Indian Design,won CC,Best of Breed and also won Group 9 in Trondheim. At that time I was 14 years old.
For some years now I’ve had to concentrate on getting an education,and other interests had to be put away for a while. This winter the time seemed right to catch up my ambitions to become not just a handler,but also a breeder. 
Today I’m a co-owner of Kennel Best Mate. We are the lucky owners of a bunch of happy Cavaliers. I can’t imagine a life without dogs!
