(Prince Hamlet Ruby of Rwyn x Ch. Daytime Rufus Girl Indianna)
Owned by Catherine Lee and Caroline Lee
bred by Carla Vooris
Date of birth: 1-25-02
August 2004
Elena was so much fun that when Rachel took over training and showing her, I just had to have a puppy of my own. And so Elena's half-sister Mika joined us in March 2002. Despite my novice handling, Mika finished her championship with three major wins and earned her title at the age of 2-1/2. She served Caroline well in Junior Showmanship in Open competition and filled in for Elena with Rachel on occasion.
Mika is balanced and has good depth of body. We like her correct rib-to-loin proportions and her ground-covering trot. She's the alpha dog and doesn't let the other dogs forget it.
Mika has given us three lovely litters, sired by Ch. Rysan's Just For Me, Am/Can. Ch. Alzahna's Morgan Silverstone, and Ch. Fanfare Swingn Onthe Fairway RN TD NA NAJ. We kept Charlie from the first litter and Holly from the third. She has produced healthy, happy dogs that we are quite pleased with. All of her puppies that have been tested have Good or Excellent hips and normal elbows, thyroid and eyes.
Now almost 10 years old, Mika is retired from breeding and showing. She's still spry and active. She likes to horde the bones and still sneaks socks and shoes back to her crate - not to chew, but to babysit, we think.
