NEWS!!! Mira qualified for the 2011 AKC National Agility Championship (NAC), in her FIRST year of eligibility! She has also qualified for the 2012 AKC NAC. Look for her in Reno in March 2012!

MORE NEWS!! Mira earned the GRCA Triathlon Award at the 2010 National Specialty by entering and qualifying in the Conformation, Performance, and Field Events.

Mira was born in Escondido, CA in the Puppy Prodigies program. Her dad is FC/AFC Glenhaven HTRS MN Baronet MH FDHF OS and her mom is Yaqui's Josie. I had big plans for her when I got her, and to my delight she is everything I wanted and more. Mira is a great team player with lots of drive who is always ready to work. When you bring her inside she loves to cuddle on the couch and watch TV, exhibiting a wonderful on/off switch.

Mira has a wonderful work ethic and is eager and willing to do anything you want, she is incredibly biddable making an ideal teammate. As a young pup she took to agility training like she was a natural. The first weekend she stepped into the agility ring she went 4 for 4, with 4 100 (perfect) scores, 4 first places and Novice High in Trial. Seven days after that she completed both her AKC Novice titles, going through Novice with a 100% Q rate. The following day she picked up her first two Open legs! Whew, what a start! Mira also went through all of Novice and Open Standard with a 100% Q rate!

Mira qualified for the Front and Finish Agility Award Of Excellence (Platinum) for her fantastic start in agility. The criteria for this award is "Attainment of an agility title in the first three consecutive classes with clear rounds (scores of 100)". Mira did this TWICE! She again qualified for the combined Platinum award, when she finished all of her first 8 AKC Agility titles in 12 months. The Awards of Excellence are intended to indicate that you have achieved your title at a superior level. Mira earned her MACH one month after her 3rd birthday, she ended the year earning her MACH2 on December 11, 2011. That is two MACHs before 4 years old! See below for a list of Mira's titles and accomplishments.

AGILITY UPDATE Dec 2011 Mira earned her MACH2 on December 11th in San Diego, CA!!!!!

Mira has also introduced me to the world of field training! She comes from strong field lines, so I decided to go and see what field training was all about. We were both hooked. The look in her eyes when she got her first bird was priceless. Mira earned her WC in the spring of 2009 and we are currently training for Junior Hunt tests when we are not busy with agility.

Conformation
Mira is moderate dog who is balanced front to rear. This allows her excellent coordination, moving effortlessly while gaiting, jumping on the agility course, or running in the field. Mira has a level topline, but a slightly low tailset. She has a short wavy field coat with good feathering, that dries quickly and easily brushes free of dirt and burrs. She has a lovely expression with nice pigment and wonderful temperament, fitting of a Golden Retriever. Mira earned her CCA (GRCA's Noncompetitive Conformation Assessment Program) at the 2010 GRCA National.
