Mir taught me an important lesson: not to fall for for novice faults*
He is missing a number of teeth and moved slightly narrow in the rear at 14 months. 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 nice 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.

Shown sparingly, he finished with three majors becoming Kyra's second DC.
So far, there's nothing performance wise he can't do.
He was been a wonderful foundation dog for Sherita,
producing  very nicely for her and in two outside litters.


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

*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 it's 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.
