We had a sample of Elli’s DNA collected early last week so she could be profiled and tested for her IVM/MDR1 and von Willebrand’s Disease status. The results were just returned to us and she is Clear [Normal:Normal] of both diseases.

Today Sovereign Park Minerva took out 1st Female Junior, 1st Challenge Bitch/Bitch in Show, Runner Up Best in Show at the Victorian state show of the White Swiss Shepherd Dog Club of Australia. Elli came runner up to her half brother Sovereign Park Orion.

Elli also did well in the fun classes, with a 1st in Female Head, 1st Female Hindquarter, 3rd in Female forequarter, and 3rd in Female coat (her coat was just too soft).

Scott also came 3rd in best handler over 30, which was pretty good considering this was his first weekend of handling ever.

Congratulations to all the other dogs who attended the show to make it a fantastic day.
