Astrida’s story:
Astrida Letton was the foundation of Latmon kennel during the registration process within LKF and FCI. Thanks to Lelde Ošmucniece – the owner of the German Shepherd kennel “Team Legund” - our paths crossed with Astrida’s new family members Inna Nikolajeva un Anatolijs Boroviks who, as they originally thought, Astrida will be “just their beautiful, smart puppy” for their family.
However, soon after, as it often happens... Astrida’s special character got its own way. Inna decided to work with the puppy more - conduct training for obedience, protection work, tracking, and attending shows. Inna took part in countless seminars, training, shows, exams, and competitions not only in Latvia but also abroad. Many successful entries in various shows followed gaining Astrida her trophies within German Shepherd and other shows in Baltic states and other countries. Mostly thanks to the owner's commitment, hard work, and clear set goals to achieve only the excellence in perfect combination with the dog's talents - Inna and Astrida have already twice successfully presented themselves in WUSV Universal Championship.
Astrida was in the leading ranks in Belgium in 2018 - showing the first place in tracking and show. With combined 70 points in obedience and 88 points protection work would have gained Inna and Astrid guaranteed place on the highest pedestal. Unfortunately, Astrida was misfortunate with barriers in obedience work and the high first place slipped out of reach and to someone else. A very similar story followed us this year in the United Kingdom. Astrida was a confident leader and had a strong position for winning trophies till the very last hours. Unfortunately, a contestant from Holland gained total predominance by 1 point in protection work thus allowing house owners - contestants from the United Kingdom to take overall first place in the contest. Astrida celebrated a highly honored 2nd trophy and gained dozens of love and blessings and honors from other countries’ contestants.
Astrida is soon celebrating her 8th birthday. Many years of hard work well done and even more achievements in the bag. Astrida proudly has presented the idea of a universal German Shepherd dog - beautiful, smart, strong, talented, and faithful!
