Elsa is my 5th Terv, and the most fun one yet! She loves to work, and is very fast! My first homebred, I kept her as she was the one that was the most bonded to me. I love the relationship that I have with her! Her call name is an anagram of the first/last letters of her registered name – S L E A. Us old-timers will remember that Elsa was also the lioness in the “Born Free” and “Living Free” movies/books, which works with my kennel name of Safari.
