Meet The Breed Council

Malin Dermervall
Breed Council Secretary
Sweden
I have been owning and showing persians since 2007, in the beginning of 2011 I registered my cattery name SE*Hypknox's and eventually also added exotics to my program.
In 2011 I founded the Swedish persian and exotic Society (SPEXUS) that one year later evolved into Sweden's official breed club for PER/EXO. Until 2026 I have been the chairman for the club, focusing on spreading knowledge about the breeds.
Besides the breed society SPEXUS, I have been active in the Swedish FIFE club "the persian cat" and I am a proud Royal Canin Ambassador.

Veikko Saarela
All Breed FIFe Judge
Finland
I have been breeding and showing Exotic and Persian cats for a long time and breed them under the cattery name Mimosan.
Mostly my colours have been black, red and tortie. I have bred many, Cat of The Year cats, over many countires (Finland, Norway, Netherland, Slovakia) and also bred many SW, NSW, MW, NW and JW cats. I have been working as a group member to publish and implement the first EXO & PER breeding strategy in the world, Finland. It was published some years ago and included a lot of advice for new and old breeders. I think it is important to work for our breeds and show to whole world how pretty, happy and healthy our cats are.
I have been working for years in my own club PIROK and Suomen Kissaliitto (both as a long term boardmember and president) – and also FIFe show commission and board member.

Kenneth Piral Didriksen
Denmark
My name is Kenneth and I have a small, social, cozy breeding with my husband Robert named DiKeRo.
I have had Persian cats since I was a baby when my parents bred Persians, but have been active for 13 years with shows and breeding.
Our focus in our breeding is healthy and social cats that live freely among us, but which are breed typical with strong stable pedigrees.
On a daily basis, I live in Denmark near Copenhagen and am a member of Mundikat in the Netherlands.
Besides that, I am a proud referee student in category 1 & 2. and am very honored to be part of the FIFe system.
As for our breeding, we have had great pleasure in having good people around us and who have been able to guide us. We have sold an incredible number of cats to other breeding and breeding all over Europe. We also have the pleasure of seeing our cats behind the lines that are shown and they have gone on to breeding is a huge satisfaction for me.
We have bred and exhibited a lot ourselves, which has led to several titles for example: SW, NW, JW, DSM, DM, etc.
I am the chairman of one of the largest Hobby clubs for Persian & Exotic called PEXO – Persian & Exotic cat society (We have members from 10 different countries)
Here we make top lists for all cats that have been shown more than 1 time (Everyone gets diplomas with pictures etc.) and we always made more than 350 diploms.
We have fun class online shows with pictures with experienced breeders/former breeders.
We also make 4 magazines a year, divided into 2 in PDF and 2 in physical form.
We also make a World Show Magazine with free ads for all our members that are printed out and distributed on the World Show.
