Elka, the Dog of the Day
Name: Elka
Age: Five years old
Gender: Female Breed: Basenji, Brittany Mix
Home: Orlando, Florida, USA
 
   Elka came to us from the local Humane Society at the age of five months old. She was a wild, biting puppy who did not trust people. We put her into Basic Dog Training Class and found out she had the ability to be an Obedience Trial Dog. That was over four years ago. Since then, Elka's name now has these titles attached to it. U-CDX, AMBOR-CDX, CGC, AMBOR-CGC, Therapy DOG, WWKC-CD Elka has earned two High In Trials and has earned qualifying scores towards an ASCA title and an WWKC-CDX.

    When Elka is in the ring, she is pleasure to watch, with her tail high and wagging. She still is a "in a minute dog" and I never know what she will do in the ring, but win, non-qualify, or anything in between, she is my Champion. A joy to have around the house, even if she is still mischievous, but when anyone approaches the house, she is all business, ready to protect her family. Elka is proof that a wild shelter dog can be molded into a loving, trusting family member. She is the love of our lives.
