Alva is a larger sized female with strong bones and a gorgeous head type. Her structure is excellent! She's a very happy, upbeat dog that never has a bad day. She's social around new people and neutral to other dogs. Alva is environmentally sound and can be taken anywhere without issue. She gets used to new places and things very quickly. She enjoys working in all three phases and offers natural handler engagement. She is one of my favorite dogs to work with! Her food drive is medium-high, and her prey drive is very high. Her favorite reward is the ball or tug. Alva also has some of the best hunt drive I've ever seen, she will search endlessly until she finds her object. 
In protection her grip is hard and strong, she is a fast striking female! She has excellent possessive drive without being nasty towards the handler. Alva is a strong female that takes corrections well and has no handler aggression. Alva has high energy and excellent stamina for work, but she does have a great off-switch and can relax normally in the house. She has no neurotic or annoying habits and settles nicely in the crate and kennel. 
Alva received a first class breed survey rating and is recommended for breeding. I have high hopes that Alva will be my next foundation female!
