 Mara is the mother of the first two litters whelped on American soil. 

She is a delightful dog to live with. Smart, playful, eager to please, gentle with people and other dogs. Bunnies & squirrels better look out! 

Mara entered her first dog show at 4 years of age and caught onto looking pretty and moving flawlessly to earn great treats and fun prizes for Garoleen. She earned a Best in Open Show her first weekend out over a large quality entry at the Summer Classic in Oklahoma City.  

Mara is a natural born show dog and is half way to her Conformation Certificate of Merit being shown only two weekends.  She has her Barn Hunt Instinct Title and is pointed in Fast Cat.
