Sovereign Park Minerva (Elli) came to us from Sovereign Park in Ballarat Victoria. She was born on the 31st of December 2005.
Elli has a plush white coat, her coat is 99% brilliant white, but she has a tinge of fawn on the tips of her ears and tail. Unfortunately Elli does have lighter eyes and pale pigment on her nose (possibly snow nose).
Elli has a fantastic temperament and has been tested with the White German Shepherd Dog Alliance of Victoria. She passed with an Excellent grade.
