Heli Laneman

Heli Laneman is the daughter of Monika Laneman who is the Breeder and founder of BTWW kennel. Heli continues BTWW breeding under Born to Win White kennel name in Estonia and is member of Estonian White Shepherd Association.

Heli has lived with dogs for as long as she remembers. She got her first very own dog at age 12 who was a White Shepherd import from Czech Republic named Arizona W. Bohemia Mandiga. Together they combined the most perfect team for dog shows and were winning almost every dog dog show they ever entered. And got podium placements in almost every Best in Group and Best in Show ring they ever entered!

Heli’s next dog was grandson of Arizona, Born to Win White Spartacus with whom they also participated successfully in dog shows achieving several Junior Champion titles and Winner titles.

Being a daughter to Monika has given her access to specific knowledge and several generations carefully planned breeding dogs so it was the only logical step to continue the mothers work at some point.

Like Heli says: White Shepherd is the best friend and companion a man can wish for!
