More: Vanya is a 3.5 month Czech lines German Shepherd. The East German/Czech working lines are unique from the West German or American lines German Shepherds in that they have a deeper pigmentation to their coat, are straight back (compared to the extreme angulation of the West German lines) and have a blocky head. Her parents were trained in Schutzhund/IPO, which is a form of obedience, tracking and protection training. I will be getting her involved in that very soon as well.
