Rikke Wriedt

From a very early age Rikke showed a huge passion for animals. At the age of twelve Rikke got her first border collie, Fille. Dogs have been part of her life since and she can not imagine a life without. With the addition of Fille Rikke's engagement in dogs, dog sports and training escalated. Through the years Rikke has been involved in many aspects of dog sports including obedience, herding, tracking, rally-O and agility. Rikke participated in her first agility trial at the age 14 and has been competing ever since.
