*** BEAUTY, HEALTH AND BRAINS ***

Leia has passed the Swedish Mental test aged 2 years. Without this challenging test, Swedish Dobermann breeders are not allowed to breed and register puppies. The judge said of Leia "I wish more dogs could be like her". Leia is the first UK bred Dobermann to pass the test! Many congratulations also go to Meral & Andreas for all their dedication and hard work. These achievements do not just come from the dog. Very well done to you - she is a credit to you and we are naturally very proud.

BRAINS, BEAUTY & GOOD HEALTH!

Well done to Leia for her placing of 2nd in Open class at Malmo, Sweden's International show - 18 March 06. Leia is just 2 years old and was in a senior class against older and mature females. Leia was judged by Rajko Rotner from Slovenia, who said in his critique of her: "Big strong compact, excellent expression.
Very nice head, excellent neck and topline. Excellent angulation front and moving"!
Leia, owned by Meral Lindholm & Andreas Hansen in Sweden, won Best Puppy In Breed in a major show in the south of Sweden Sofiero at the Sofiero castle in Helsingborg, under judge Otto Schim from Austria.

Leia won her Youth Class - 04 July 05 with a ck 1 certificate quality today. Three certificates and a working qualification and she can become a Swedish Champion. Leia is currently training for her working and is particularly excellent at tracking.

Leia's 4 litter mates in the UK who are also shown, have all had even better success than expected in their first year of showing. We look forward to a very bright future from Leia and this exceptional litter.

Leia is Hip Scored HD-A, is PHPV - Clear, VWd Clear.

A translation of text on the South Dobermann Club website in Sweden when she was Dog of The Month.

"Leia That we call our English princess came to us in May after long waiting and planning.
After a long flight we expected that she would we a little low and maybe even a little scared, but she was such a brave girl, looked at us for a moment and then ran into our arms and hearts right away!!
We had started out mailing a lot with her breeders Jay & Martin quite early when the puppies were only a few weeks, we hoped that we could have the first choice on black female and we got her!!
During the time when Leia was still with her breeders Jay & Martin trained her socially, obeidience and Tracking which is far more then we could ever ask of them!!
They also sent a video with Leia home to us so we could see her and the litter from the beginning and them all growing so it feels as though we have known our little Leia always!!

Leia is a very nice working dog, who is good in training and loves the action, and her exterior is very impressive! Leia is a beautiful and fun member in our family!!

But we have never met such a brat!!! She always gives a 100 % no matter what she does and you have to keep an eye on her always cause if she gets a chance she will find something fun to do!! hahahahaha and thats exactly how we wanted her!! Our baby girl loves Leia and Leia loves children there is nothing better if you ask her. So all in all she is lovely!"
