We are so excited to have the opportunity to introduce this amazing girl who we are honored to accept into our home - Tesla! This amazing girl has done amazing things in her show career - including going to THE German Sieger show (Bundessieger Zuchtshau) in 2021. She has been lovingly raised by an amazing breeder in the Netherlands, and came to join us in April of 2024 here at Seelenvoll.

​

        From the moment that Tesla came off the plane in the USA we felt like we've known her for years! She has such a sweet energy about her, and takes everything in stride. She is the perfect house dog, and takes up more space than needed on the bed like a true shepherd! She is a medium sized female with thick bone structure and beautiful pigmentation.

 

        Tesla comes from lines that we know and love, but also brings in some amazing outside bloodlines to our breeding program. She is the daughter of VA Warrior von Media, one of the best sons of VA Asap vom Aldamar.  She is also a grand-daughter of VA Fight vom Holtkämper Hof, the amazing VA Groovy di Casa Massarelli, the renouned VA Tino Godalis, as well as two household names in the breeding world, VA Vegas du Haut Mansard and V Geronimo vom Team Panoniansee.

HEALTH

​

Tesla has some stellar health clearances that have proven to pass onto her puppies. Her PennHip scores are RDI: 0.38 and LDI: 0.36, which puts her in the top 70% of tested dogs in the breed. With the average being 0.42, that is pretty amazing! All of her tested offspring so far have been above the average. When she was young in the Netherlands she was given an "A" rating on her hip xrays through the FCI, which is the best results that they give!

 

Her elbows were also xrayed and graded as "Normal" by OFA, which is the best result. They were tested in the Netherlands with the same results when she was younger.

​

All of the puppies that we have tested for hip and elbow clearances have tested as good enough for breeding quality!

​

 She is tested as Clear for DM (Degenerative Myelopathy) and 255 other genetic diseases through her Embark Panel. This includes Hemophilia (Blood Disorder) and MDR1 (Multi-Drug Resistance). This means that even if bred with a dog who is Affected/At Risk for any of these diseases and disorders she cannot produce them in her puppies.

​

Tesla heart has been cleared by a canine cardiologist and her clearance can be found in the OFA database. Her eyes were also evaluated by a canine Ophthalmologist and found to be clear as well through OFA (Orthopedic Foundation for Animals).
