NIKKI of Sapphire Mountain: female (littermate to Natasha, Nike & Nero)
Classification: Working Patrol Dog for a security company.
Owner: Mr. Todd Dennis, MI

Ramona, I recently saw the update you received on Nike who is a sister of my Nikki. Knowing how well Nikki is doing and how well she learns new tasks I was not surprised to hear her siblings were the same. As you know I joined a Shutzhund Club and started training with them about three weeks ago. There are two different professional trainers at the club and we meet three times per week. Both trainers have made comments about how advanced Nikki is for her age as well as her high confidence level. Some of the club members have joked about how lucky I was buying my GSD via the internet but everything you said about her has proved true. She can train very intensely when asked (especially considering her age) yet lay on the floor and watch TV with my kids and hour later. Here are a few pictures so you can see for your self. Todd
