Mika von Euro Deja
Mika is a gorgeous girl with a deep mahogany red and black coat and a black mask for our black mask lovers. Her conformation is strong with a nice straight topline and correct hocks, smooth movement, and capable strength--her athletic anatomy in the showlines is a rarety today. She's a very lovey girl with a solid off-switch--her character is a delight.
Mika carries a great weight and meaning for our program in evaluation of her family tree. We bred Mika's Grandmother Gwen to our Finn. Out of that pairing, we kept Vera. These are some clearest minded shepherds you could ever meet. Vera produced Mika from her 3rd litter, when bred to V Baxter Team vom Holtlämper Hof IGP2 KKL. Read Mika's Lineage information to learn more about what makes her so special.
See more of Mika on instagram @EuroDejaShepherds where you can watch vidoes on her highlight labeled "Mika". You can also view the litter she grew up in (and her sire) on highlight "Vera Pups 3", and Mika's mother on highlight "Vera".
The family tree is what creates the dog, so we go into detail. These names don't hold as much meaning to newcomers, but for many years, Gwen and Finn were the most popular dogs in our program for good reason. *Certified* Therapy Dog Finn (click for photos, videos, and info) has 2 completely maxed out highlights on our @eurodejashepherds instagram page "Finn1" and "Finn2" (over 200 entries between the two showing his character, etc) and so you can go see the dog that backs Mika with his genetics. He's been nicknamed "Famous Finn" by many an admiring client who has gotten his coveted pups. He's now 12 years young (2026 at time of writing this) and lives with us in his retirement, continuing to socialize our puppies, and providing joy every day. He's the most darling, most balanced, and impressive German Shepherd you could ever meet. Finn is son of the famed VA Saabat.
Gwen is 11 years young at the time of writing this, and lives with Mika's mother Vera, and Mika's half sister Arwen. Gwen is daughter of VA2 Ricco v.d. Zenteiche thus Gwen's Grandfather is legendary 2x world champ Vegas du haut Mansard.
Mika's lineage is an incredible combination in all aspects of the total German Shepherd. The motherline in particular was established by a veterinarian (now retired from breeding) for over 30 years--Gwen was her 7th generation. These dogs displayed healthy longevity (14 to nearly 15 years of age with good care), with some of the best temperaments a person could ask for alongside strongest anatomy that is beyond difficult to find today.
