Tin Roof's Special Edition Namaka SWN RATN RATO RATS ORT

"Tin Roof's Special Edition Namaka SWN RATN RATO RATS ORT" aka "Mya", is our keeper of the 2020 litter. Mya's sire is a Grand Champion male that is an absolute delight to be around. Tory (GCH CH Namaka's True Blue Toreador SWE) is his name and sniffin is his main game. His owner is competing with him in AKC Scent work. "CH Devon's Endless Love CGCA RATN RATO SWN SEA CGCA" AKA "Willow" is Mya's mother. Mya is "A" Clear for PRA-prcd, RCD4, bilaterally normal BAER (hearing test), Clear for over 200 health tests (breeder DNA panel even though Mya is obligate clear). She was the first one born, her litter name was Number One, and she was our pick of the litter. We kept Mya out of nine pups. She has since graduated Puppy class at Hidden Valley Obedience Club as an AKC S.T.A.R. Puppy! We are also in a intro to scent work class, and Mya' LOVES it! She is really good at it also! We will continue to train, socialize, and love Mya' until we can get her to a show. Hopefully soon! We have high hopes for this little beauty. Barn Hunt! Wowza does Mya LOVE barn hunt!!! She is amazing at it also. We have so much fun practicing and going to the barn hunt trials. Mya has rapidly achieved novice, open and senior titles in barn hunt. She tried the hurdles and teams at the regional specialty. She did excellent at both. There was fastcat at one of the events we were going to be at, and I entered mya. She is going to eat that up! Once she figured out she was supposed to chase that thing.....VROOM! Mya is a special edition for sure. She is gritty. A true "cattle dog" in many ways. As the breed standard states, ACD's are "aloof with strangers".  She was raised during the beginning of covid when all of the high risk people had to stay home, and businesses were closed down. Normally this is the crucial time for a puppy to go everywhere, go to classes, go to home depot, Wal-Mart, trials, shows, etc. Mya did not get the proper exposure. She was not allowed to meet strangers either because we were scared to have people come over to our home due to COVID19. All in all "Mya" is a wonderful athlete that will do almost anything to compete for a cookie and our approval. Mya is my business woman when I go to trials. She is not here to schmooze strangers for scratches and pets, but she will beg for your lunch! She would rather be seen, and not touched by strangers. She is a great guard dog, and is my protector most of the time because she is like velcro to me. Typically wherever I am at home she is right there also. Mya is excellent naturally at herding, but I need to learn what to do. She is a reminder of a true blue heeler that will go all day long, riding the trails, working sheep, watch over your home and property, and be the best competition dog in your line up. She is truly all heart, and we enjoy her presence in our pack.
