Yaqui's Glenhaven Ricochet "Ric"
Golden Retriever

Ricochet is Mira's littermate and belongs to Judy, the person who whelped and raised Mira's litter. This was part of the non-profit that Judy runs called Puppy Prodigies.

Ricochet's path in life was to become a service dog breeder for Puppy Prodigies, and provide service dog puppies to assistance dog organizations, as well as become a service dog herself for people with disabilities. But, as she grew, so did her interest in chasing birds, and small, furry prey animals! That's a no-no for a service dog.

A "board" meeting was held, and her career path changed. Because she still want to help people, her title went from service dog to SURFice dog! She wants to take her natural ability of balancing on a surfboard, and make it meaningful... She wants to make a difference. So, rather than a litter of puppies being born... Surfin' for Paws-abilities was born!... which is a fundraising initiative carved out for Ricochet through Puppy Prodigies. So, she is still able to be part of Puppy Prodigies! Yay! But, now she is a fundraiser instead of a breeder.
