We started Rally with Mira as a way to get her comfortable in the ring and perhaps as a bridge to other performance events. She took to Rally very well because she loves to work off leash where she is in control. She is very sensitive to commands, both verbal and non-verbal. She is a lot of fun to work with and her scores in Rally steadily increased as she moved through the levels.

Mira started showing in Rally in April 2005 and earned her Novice title in three straight trials. She started Advanced Rally in August 2005 and also finished this title in three straight trials - this time with two 2nd places! She started Excellent in September 2005 and finished in November 2005 with a first place!

Because Mira is so good at Rally and it's something we enjoy, we continued on to her Rally Advanced Excellent (RAE) title. This title requires ten qualifying legs and each leg requires a qualifying score in both Excellent B and Advanced B at the same trial. Mira finished her RAE in September 2006. She racked up 32 qualifying scores in just 17 months. We couldn't be prouder.

In 2009 Mira came out of Rally retirement to particiapte in UKC rally. She finsihed her UKC Level 1 title in three straight shows (with a third place and career high score of 99). She also finished her UKC Level 2 title in three straight shows. We are very proud of her accomplishments.

Here are results from Mira's rally trials:
