Mia

Mia started training dogs at 7 years old, by joining a dog 4H club. She and her Australian Shepherd, Wrangler, competed in 4H shows and obtained many obedience and showmanship championship and grand championship wins. Through 4H, Mia discovered her love for training and showing dogs. 

In 2017, Mia got her first Ibizan Hound, CKC GCH DC AKC CH Icycold Third Time SC FDC TKN “Charm”, and showed her heavily in AKC breed shows. She has handled her to a hound group win, multiple placements, and high honor awards, including an Award of Merit at the prestigious Westminster Kennel Club.  Charm ranked to be the #10 Ibizan hound (all breed) and the #3 Owner Handled Ibizan in the US.  Mia continues to handle dogs in shows, now focusing on her new up and comer, IcyCold daVinci’s Made for the Spotlight “Idina”. 

Besides dog shows, Mia has years in experience in obedience, agility, lure coursing, and trick training. Mia has been training at K9C since 2015 and apprenticed under trainers here for many years. She has a passion for training dogs.
