ALEN

I began working seriously with dogs in the autumn of 1992, when I started training agility with my first dog, a Bearded Collie bitch, Asa (Dishy), at the KOSSP "Zagreb" dog club.
My career as an agility and obedience trainer took off at the beginning of 1993.
Since 1993, with the exception of 1996, I have been a member of the Croatian National Agility Team, first with Asa and later with my Border Collie bitch, Puppy (Germal Handy Lass), my Croatian Sheepdog bitch, Cita (Drava Certisa), my wife's Border Collie dog, Cap (Mawlch Cap), and my young Border Collie bitch, Myf (Mawlch Myf). I have been team coach since 1997.
After more than 15 years I am still a member of KOSSP "Zagreb" and from 2000 to 2005 I was Chairman of the same dog club. Additionally, I am President of the Croatian Kennel Club's Agility Committee.
In addition to having held agility seminars abroad for a number of years, I am an international agility judge and as well as Croatia I have judged in Slovenia, Austria, Italy, Hungary and Finland.
I achieved my best results with Asa towards the end of her life, in 1995, when she won the Croatian National Championship and gained 12th place in the individual competition at the European Agility Championships in Turin, Italy.
I fell in love with Border Collies in 1993 at the European Agility Championships in Austria and, in 1995 I finally succeeded in purchasing one. In falling in love with Border Collies I also felt the same attraction for herding and I soon began to train sheep dogs whenever the opportunity presented itself.
Under my kennel name "Mawlch" I breed Croatian Sheepdogs and dual registered Border Collies from pure working lines.
As a hobby I make sticks and shepherds’ crooks.
I graduated from the Faculty of Agriculture, University of Zagreb although I am presently working for a family security firm.
I am the proud father of our two lovely sons, Vilim and Viktor :-).
