Empress "Nika" Von Overen
(Light Pink from the E Litter)
DOB: 7/26/24
Nika is a high-potential working prospect ready for the right handler to bring her forward. Recently assessed and tuned up by Harmony Canine, she impressed with her intensity, clarity, and work ethic—this young female is all business.
She’s bold, driven, and full of intent, with strong prey and food drive, high possession, and forward, full grips. Confident and open, Nika is eager to work and thrives when given direction and purpose. While she displays some reactivity at this stage, it's manageable and expected to resolve with consistent handling and maturity. Her suspicion can easily be channeled into focused, purposeful work.
Nika is not for the casual home—she is a serious working dog in the making and would thrive in a program or with a trainer looking for their next project in sport, detection, or personal protection. She’s structurally strong, mentally tough, and genetically stacked.
With rich dark pigment and a striking presence, Nika also brings excellent health credentials and a world-class pedigree. She’s AKC registered, microchipped, dewormed, and vaccinated for her age. Comes with a 26-month hip/elbow health guarantee.
