Mir taught me an important lesson: not to fall for novice faults:
those faults that any newbie can pick out. These include
missing teeth, gay tail and coat & eye color. They are unable to look behind
these faults and see the dog in its entirety. If they're lucky, a Novice will
 grow out of it. Unfortunately, there are long time breeders who haven't
gotten beyond that stage.

Mir is missing a number of teeth and moved narrows in the rear, two faults
easily seen.  Sherita had been screwed by the same breeder who sold me
my first Borzoi and I felt bad for her. All she really seemed to want
was a performance dog.

So, because I had an abundance of nicer boys, no prospective
Homes lined up (they all had wanted girls!), and couldn't keep them all,
 I sent him to Sherita. First because she wanted him as a pet, she asked me to
 send him to her on limited, but after she saw him and
others saw him and thought he could finish,  I changed his
 paperwork from limited to full registration .

And came to eat my words that he'd be hard to finish.
Hey, if you're honest with yourself, you'll admit a mistake. Yep, I know, not everyone
can be honest with themselves, let alone the world!

Shown sparingly, he finished with three majors becoming Kyra's second DC.
He was been a wonderful foundation dog for Sherita,
producing very nicely for her and in  three outside litters.

He is also the sire of "Borchis Glorfindel Numenesse" aka "Kolchak XIV"
who moved to Hawaii to be the Mascot for the 1st Battalion, 27th Infantry “Wolfhounds"

Being a proud military brat, I want to thank his breeders Terry Steele & Billie Thibeaux for
donating "Kolchak XIV" to this post!

Do I regret letting Mir go? Nope, he wouldn't've reached his full potential at my house.
But he did teach me not to nitpick faults.
