Born an only pup in Elba's final litter, Yeltsa proves herself to be a fighter in the world of survival.  Weighing in at 26.5 ounces at birth, she is the largest pup we have ever had here at our kennel.  At 2.5 weeks she is highly advanced for a pup of her age and clearly demonstrates recognition of voice, comes to the sound of your voice when called, and is confident and sure, willing to investigate new things at this very early age.  
At 3 weeks she is eating 3 full meals a day, and is highly food driven, as is her mother.  Her wagging tail confirms her enthusiasm to greet you when she hears you approaching.
 
As she is maturing, she is proving to be is a fun loving girl and is demonstrating a very good nose, is territorial of her home front and is showing good protection and alerting skills when strangers approach. She has good social skills, and is excellent with children.  Her body type is agile and athletic with substantial bone and very nice head type.

Yeltsa produced her first litter for our kennel April 8th, 2010. It was a fabulous working litter, with 5 Males and 4 Females born in her first litter.  All the pups had excellent drive for the toy, good hunt drive and quickly motivated and intense on the bite rag for bite imprinting exposure as pups.  They are very nice dark black sable in color.   View her #1 pick female who we retained for our breeding program, Alexa Morgan von Schraderhaus.  Lena is in training for titles with Martina Wilson.  View Working page..
Lena is an excellent working female sired by Czech Import stud  Chachar Bily Trpaslik , SVV1, Hips A1.

This is an excellent line breeding on both Lord vom Gleisdreieck and Grim z Pohranicni straze. We're extremely happy with the incredible working pups this pairing produced for schutzhund and police work.

Yeltsa meets her half siblings from Xena's Litter, who were born 3 days after Yeltsa.  In order to encourage and support Yeltsa's mastering of her socialization skills, our goal is for Yeltsa to be integrated into her new family with her half siblings.  It will be beneficial for her if she can become their family member, as the pups learn to interact with one another and to accept others.

For their first encounter everyone is getting along OK.
