Mia is a beautiful little girl who has great potential!  Mia came from Beyond Kennels in New Zealand.  She is so playful and loved to play with her brother who went to Hawaii on the same flight as she did from New Zealand.  Mia, who technically my girls call Princess Mia, is a puppy through and through but she is a good puppy.  Adventurous, happy and mellow for the most part.  She loves to follow me where ever I go and lay at my feet.  She enjoys playing fetch and is really good at it too - she steals what ever the toy is from Warry every time too!  She's good at tug-o-war and usually wins between the other dogs, but always lets go of the toy so I can toss it again for her to chase.  

     Mia's first show was at the International Dog show in Hutto, Texas July 1-2, 2006 and she did very well.  She took home Best in Breed for all 3 shows she was entered in, 2 Group 3's and had great critques from 3 different judges.  Mia earned her National Title at this show and is starting off her showing career with great promise.  I had hoped I could have taken her to Chicago as well, but I was limited to two dogs per the airline regulations.   She is really beginning to come into her coat so I look forward to being able to show her at upcoming shows.  For now I am working on her tear stainning as it has gotten pretty bad, until I can reduce it I fear I cannot show her.  She is maturing well and has begun to fill out in her upper body so I am most pleased.

I have placed Mia with a wonderful family in Missouri whom are giving her the extra love and attention she so desperately needed and deserved.  Mia is not a "pack" dog and wanted more one on one time.  She wanted us humans all to herself and didn't want to share us, so in her second home as she's still going to come back and forth to see us too, she's doing great.  Mia has gone to stay with Terri and her husband Lindsey in Missouri and she is doing great up there too!  Her allergies have lessened as the Texas heat and humidity and rash of allergens weren't helping her at all.  Missouri's climate seem to much more suitable for Mia.   She has a companion, Zoe, a pom that she pals around with there at home and then she has her new boyfriend, Leo.  Leo is in the same town, less than 5 minutes away and they get to have walks and play time at least 3 times a week if not more often.  Leo is from Katrina's lines of Kiraleea Japanese Spitz and is gorgeous.  We miss her dearly but know she's very loved.  My girls can't wait to see her again either!  We've had a turn of events as we tried to mate Mia and Leo and came to discover a blockage within Mia's reproductive tract that is not her hymen and will require her to be spayed.  I'm heartbroken to say the least as I was so looking forward to seeing my Mia girl again.  Instead she will remain in Missouri with Terri and Lindsey and continue to thrive as she's been doing for the past several months.  We all miss her so very much but knowing she's in a home that loves her so very much makes it a little easier.  We will continue to keep in touch and update Mia's page with her newest photos : )  We miss you Mia girl!!!
