Nigel de Jonge (short)

I was born on July 14 1997 in Rotterdam and live in Hoek van Holland. My parents had been active in dog sports for years, so you could say that I was born into the sport. And so from the pram until I could walk, I could be found in all fields and still do today.

I was about 8 years old when Marije Hoeve allowed me to start training with Condor, after my mother stopped competing with Condor. I also attended youth camp for many years and started doing protection work at an early age. For example, I obtained my Club License in 2012and from then I was only looking forward even more to do protection work.

In 2015 I became a helper at trials and in 2016 I became allround helper and I was allowed to train in the selection of the W.U.S.V. 2017 in Tilburg. Over the years I have trained with several dogs and I currenlty train with Gismo v.d. Zeelberg. We do this at the club in Rotterdam together with Toin Jonkers and Pieter Keijzer who guide me and my dog with protection work. Since 2022, I have been the Sports portfolio holder of South Holland / Utrecht.

I have run these main events and there are still competitions planned for 2024.
