Mira is from our Spring 2003 litter, and was one of Hayley's 10 puppies from frozen semen by Shelby (BISS Am Ch Richwyn's Hot Rod). This little red head is a ball of energy and keeps us laughing all day long.

Mira completed her Canadian Championship in limited showing, finishing at 10 months of age.  At the UDC Canadian Regionals in July 2004 she passed the YTT (Youth Temperament Test) and was graded Excellent and awarded a CC by respected breeder judge Ray Carlisle (at the tender age of 1 year and 4 days old!)

We did some agility training with Mira, but unfortunately she pulled a shoulder muscle and was busy in the whelping box instead of resuming our training.  We have also done some training in Rally, and are hoping to get back to both these events soon now that Mira is finished her puppy duties.

Mira's first litter by Legend (Multi BIS/BISS Ch Liberator's Valentino) produced 12 lovely puppies, all black/rust.  Of the 8 boys and 4 girls, many of the boys could likely have been successfully shown but went to pet homes to be loved.  We are currently showing our girl Pita (Denmel's Are We There Yet) from this litter.  Andrea & Kevin Hansen of Calgary own the pick male Trucker (Ch Denmel's On The Road Again) who finished his Championship at 10 months.  Mira is very proud of this young lad! 

Mira was bred again in 2008, but unfortunately only a single red boy was produced.  We tried one last time to breed her, but were not successful in having any puppies produced.  Mira is my "heart dog", and with her lovely dark coat and dark eyes, her intense focus and always wagging tail, it is not hard to see why. 

Mira came with me to Chilliwack for the BCDPC & DPCC Specialty, so that we could try her in the WAE (Working Aptitude Evaluation -DPCA) and she passed.  She is now Ch. Denmel's Critical Acclaim, WAC.
