About Stela
Meet Stela, a beautiful sable female imported from Slovakia! Stela comes from an impressive pedigree on her dam and sire's sides. This fun-loving girl is great in public, around kids and other pets. On the trial field and when safeguarding her family, she is a fierce protector. Stela already has an IGP1 and we plan on competing across multiple sports this year for even more titles.
Great health testing
Degenerative Myelopathy (DM; SOD1A), Elbow Dysplasia Finals (OFA, BVA, SV, FCI), +1 more
Health testing is one key piece of responsible breeding and is performed on breeding dogs to prevent the presence of heritable conditions in their puppies.
