Aiden was a medium sized dark black and tan female with beautiful structure and a quick, athletic build. Her pedigree is very strong and very balanced with lines to Mink, Fero, Fado Karthago, Arthus, T-Litter Körbelbach, Afra vom Stoppenberger Land, and many more proven producers of superior working dogs. Aiden's sire, Bastin Kokeltal, has a resume of accomplishments almost too long to list. He is the 2001 BSP Champion, 2002 USA National SchH3 Champion, 2003 USA German Shepherd Dog National SchH3 Champion and 2004 North American SchH3 Champion. He has also competed at the WUSV world championships. Aiden's dam, Burgos' Unika, is an outstanding Citty Haus Ming daughter. Nike is an impressive bitch that we have had the pleasure to know both on and off the training field.

Aiden wa a true joy to train and work with. She wa an excellent tracking dog, showing intense concentration, a deep nose, and insatiable drive for the track. She liked to be challenged and works out problems well, without loss of drive or focus. In protection she showed excitement, good drive and excellent responsiveness to commands from the handler. Obedience was her favorite phase though, and it is here where she truly exceled. She was always ready to go and works with tremendous animation and enthusiasm. She would go into drive quickly, and build more as work went along, never losing focus, always giving 100%, and doing so with a smile on her face.

Chris and Aiden obtained their SchH1 in May of 2006 at the Capital Area Schutzhund Club trial, taking home the High In Trial Obedience score. Although Aiden obtained all her health clearances and SchH title, we made the decision not to incorporate Aiden into our breeding program as we did not feel that she would be a good fit for our long term goals. She was spayed and placed in a home with some friends where she enjoyed life as a full time house pet, cherished family companion and playmate to three children.
