Team Norway

Anneli Kilen Kjeserud, Team Leader

My name is Anneli Kilen Kjeserud and 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 since 2018. Last year I was the chief organizer at the nordic championship in Norway, and this year I’m honoured of being the Team Leader of the Norwegian Team. I’m looking forward to seeing you all in Stockholm.

Sidsel Færden, Assistant Team Leader

Hello I’m Sidsel Færden and proud to be the Assistant Team Leader for the Norwegian Team 2024.

I started with Rally Obedience in 2016, and have been competing with several dogs since then. First an English Setter, then a TerrierMix and now with Kicki a 7 year old Aussie, and Lotta a 2 year old BC.

Looking forward to seeing you all in Stockholm

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. Giggs likes to work and train and he is my soulmate.

This is our fourth time on the Norwegian national team.

I’m looking forward to seeing you all in Stockholm.

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.

This is our second time participating in the nordic championship and we are looking forward to be a part of this again!

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. He is a 3-year-old happy-go-lucky guy who really lives up to his name.

Sonic 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 a  2. place 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.
Audhild Mæland & Molly

My name is Audhild and Molly is my 10 years old Border Collie.

We are 4 times Norwegian Champions and have been part of the Norwegian National Team since 2019. Our best result is 4th place at the Nordic Championship in 2022.

Reserves

If needed, the team can make a switch over to a reserve before the Championship.

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.

Silje Strandengen Lie & Timb

My name is Silje, and Timb is a 4 years old Border Collie.

I started with rally obedience in 2019, and our life is play, training and competing. We love to work with details and working with energy. Timb is an electric dog, and he has a lot of energy to handle.
