Elsa

von der Traumwolfen
Working German Shepherds

Elsa came to us through my good friend Lee Hough of von Wolfstraum, who owns Bianka, Elsa's
mother. Lee directed us to Jon Gjerpe, who was handling the sale of the puppies, and was able
to get us this fantastic little female pup from the breeder, Ben Evarretts of van Klipgaarden
Kennel in Belgium.
When Elsa arrived, she came right out of the crate and was a very happy little girl. She has
taken every situation in stride and has not been daunted by anything. She spends time visiting
with all the kids at school, going to basketball, archery, soccer, baseball and softball games.
She immediately took to the puppy rag and progressed right on up to the hard bite sleeve with
very little effort. She is quick in obedience and has fantastic food, prey and ball drive. Her
heeling is flashy and she carries herself proudly.
Elsa has been worked by 10 different helpers. It doesn't matter who is doing the job, she puts
out her best effort. She earned her SchH1 title with a score of 81/82/87 Pronounced under
SV Judge and Vice President Heiko Grube. Elsa is HOT (Handler Owner Trained). My goal is
to continue to title her to SchH3.
Elsa has an extremely strong pedigree. She has great dogs behind her on the sire line including
WUSV competitors Zender vom Lusondai, Udo van't Quentawald, Belgium Champion Quinto van
Haus Nuyens and 2x World Champion Orry van haus Antverpa, along with Othello v Karthago,
Tino v Korbelbach, Gent od Policie, Iro z Pohranicni straze and Rick v Tiekerhook. Her female
line has most of the females with their SchH3. Top females in her pedigree include Nina-Nicky
v Tiekerhook, Steffi v Tiekerhook, Palma v Guy's Hof and Nicky v Guy's Hof among others.
She is just what we were looking for in a foundation female for our kennel.
A male pup, Archer von der Traumwolfen, from her first litter was placed with a world level
competitor, and we are looking forward to his titling later this year.
