Carmen Schmid - My Story

When I started my first steps, I never thought that I ever would go a competition! 3 dogs later I can look back to 4 European and 3 World Championships. 

 

I have been the woman behind the Cairn Terriers in DogDancing for more than 20 years. I love dancing with my dogs in the ring. I enjoy competitions, if they are international championships or small competitions in a dog sport club. I love the daily training, the challenge to find the right way for the different characters, each of my dogs is an individual with very special characteristics.  They always give their best, even if we never reached the winners podium. But I had so many lucky moments with my dogs in the ring. My highest goal was always to let my dogs bright in the ring. And when I reached this I felt like the happiest woman in the ring.

 

When I became judge I found another great pleasure of our sport. I love sitting at the judges' table and give a welcome to the competitors, I feel so expectantly. Whether beginner or master class, it is a great enrichment for me to see the choreographies from my very special place.


Being invited to judge the EOC 2025 is an unbelievable pleasure and honour for me. I can't wait for this event, for the creative exchange with dog dancers from all over the world and for the unforgetable moments you will give to me.
