Jana
“I’m grateful for every opportunity to grow in working with dogs.” – Jana Rutschmann
Jana began her journey as a sport dog handler at the age of 8 with her dog Mala in BH1. Even as a child, she assisted dog handlers who were struggling with their dogs and supported them in training. With her dog Nera, she competed in IBGH 1 & 2. At just 13 years old, she became the youngest participant at the Swiss National Championship for All Breeds in IBGH3 with her dog Kyra.
She is currently training her first own dog, Gessa, as both a therapy and sport dog in IBGH and IGP.
