BLAŽ OVEN (SLO)
I was born in January, 1992 in Ljubljana, capital of Slovenia.
At the moment I live near Ljubljana, I have Bachelor’s Degree in Computer science and Mathematics and am currently working in Ljubljana as a software engineer.
Dogs have been with me for my whole life, but got my first one, border collie, in 2006. Since then I regularly attend competitions in Slovenia and countries around and far from us.
At the moment I compete with three dogs, one border collie and two shetland sheepdogs. I have been a member of the Slovenian national team for the European Championship since 2010. I participated as a member of the national medium team for AWC in 2015 where we were 2nd and in 2017 where we won the gold and then in 2019 we were 4th.
Soon after my beginnings in agility I wanted to see the other side of agility - to become a judge. I fulfilled this goal in summer 2014 when I became a judge for agility at Cynological Society of Slovenia. In this 8 years of judging career I judged in 13 countries and in many of them also their qualifications for national team or national championship. I love to set up technical but fast and safe courses. I am really looking forward to it and it is my pleasure that you will run my courses and I hope you will have fun and I wish you all the best!!
