Enka

Sgt. Enka Polie vom Porsche-Roush CD

I was Born on January 13, 2002 in Peck, Michigan. For the first eight weeks of my life, Sandy Roskey took great care of me at the Wind Dancer Kennels. If you are ever considering a German Shepherd dog (GSD), I would strongly suggest using Wind Dancer Kennels. They brought me into this world and treated me and my brothers and sisters with lots of love.

My parents are from some of the best German working lines. You can see my pedigree by clicking HERE. On April 1, 2002 I became certified with the American Kennel Club (AKC). I am very proud of my doggy parents and their pedigree.

On March 7, 2002 I was shipped to my new home in south Florida. My new parents, Rich and Erinn named me Enka, short for Sgt. Enka Polie vom Porsche-Roush. My name comes from a few different things in my parent's life. For instance, "Sergeant" comes Erinn's brother who was a Sergeant United States Marine Corps. The word "Polie" comes from the phrase "Rolie Polie", which my parents called me when they first saw me because I was a little round fur ball. My last two names come from my two favorite cars, Porsches and Roush Mustangs. Unfortunately, I do not care for cars that handle well so my parents bought me a new Toyota Sequoia SUV. I have all the room I need to stretch out now!

Speaking of travel, I can usually be found with my parents whenever they travel. Before we go anywhere, we always visit our favorite animal-friendly travel guide on the web, PetsWelcome.com. There you will find all of the hotels, restaurants, parks and beaches across the US that are dog friendly. Of course, whenever we travel we first visit the vet and I love my vet. Her name is Dr. Michelle Durkee and she runs the West Palm Beach Animal Clinic located on Military Trail, just north of Okeechobee Blvd. If you live anywhere near West Palm Beach, Florida, you should definitely go see Dr. Durkee.

I am currently Titled in Obedience with my CD. I also work very hard at agility too. The next sport I plan to take up is Schutzhund! Schutzhund work concentrates on obedience, tracking and protection. One day, I am hoping to get a SchH title.

Professionally, I like to help my parents run their private real estate business, The Cowell Group. When they are showing property, I make sure they are safe by watching them closely. If they should ever call me, I am always ready to protect them with my life. In other words, NEVER try to harm either of my parents or else you will have me to deal with....

In my free time (which is just about all the time) I absolutely love to SWIM. I love to jump into pools, lakes, canals and of course, the ocean! On the weekends, when I am not helping my parents at the track, I can usually be found in the ocean or in my grandmother's canal in Key Largo, FL.

My daily routine varies but a few things never change. After a morning of chasing Chloe, I am fed a raw diet of fish and vegetables each morning. My parents and I believe this is currently the best dog food because of the ingredients. I am also fed Peppy Tabs, which we believe are the best multi-vitamin and mineral supplement currently available. I am fed raw chicken because it is without a doubt the best food for large dogs. Many of the best breeders in the US and Europe feed their dogs raw chicken because a dog's body utilizes chicken more effectively than processed food. Don't worry, dogs are immune to salmonella. Some of my other favorite foods include bananas, fish, carrots, oatmeal and most fruits and vegetables.

Below is me and my mom at our first AKC Obedience Show. We placed FIRST in class in all of the Obedience Shows we entered and on February 1, 2004 I became titled with a CD.
