Dona
von Essegg, FM, Certificate of Gameness AWTA
German Hunting Terrier
Dona was born in
May, 1997 near Zagreb, Croatia. A friend of Craigs, Goran Canadic
was in Croatia in the fall of 1998 and was looking for some Jagd Terrier
puppies to import to Canada. When he went to Dona's Kennel he noticed
a huge amount of potential in a young female that acted like a veteran
dog. He brought her back with him and Craig too saw the potential
in her and convinced Goran to sell her to him.
Another
friend convinced Craig to bring Dona to a flyball practice and
within a half hour, Dona was going over all 4 jumps, retrieving the
ball
from the box and returning over the same 4 jumps. She learned very quickly.
As anyone who has witnessed Dona playing flyball knows that she also
has a very unusual zest for the sport. She "screams" the entire
time she is in the racing lanes.
Dona
also competes at American Working Terrier Trials where she has yet to
be defeated in her class. She is also a full-time hunting dog and enjoys
her new home in Everett, Ontario.
Dona is currently
ranked number one German Hunting Terrier in NAFA.
