ZIVA ABIJAH
as a 12 week old pup
This picture taken by my friend & mentor Faye.
It has been my personal dream to own my own German Shepherd falling in love with the breed when I was a young girl and my Dad owned one named Chief. Since becoming a trainer I wanted a puppy to train as my show dog in my classes. Being particular as I am I wanted to rescue a female puppy, black and tan, low prey drive and soft temperment. After prayer, patience and waiting Ziva appeared one day when HOPE was contacted because she was abandoned at a vet's office. You can get awesome pure bred dogs through rescues! Stay tuned to watch Ziva grow and learn. She is now 4 months old, July 2009. Extra special thank you to Randi for standing up for this defenseless puppy saving her from a kill shelter. Thanks for not looking the other way!
I took Ziva for professional photo session for her first birthday in March 2010. All photos are natural poses. I used the same training techniques I teach my clients to get Ziva to post for her pictures! As you can see from just a FEW she did great!! She's a canine super model in the making!!!
All of the photos of Ziva except the one as a puppy were taken by Crystal Young of Crystal Young Photography. Crystal will work hard to capture your pet or family's special moments. Please visit her website! She's a personal friend, wonderful person and exquisite photographer!
