Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Look at this striking youngster! Mira is a highly intelligent and rather intense girl who would make her ancestors proud. She has the drive and personality of a great working dog and will give her everything to a handler and partner she can trust and look up to. Experience with this kind of dog if not the Malinois breed itself is a must as is the ability to communicate clearly and handle her in a positive and supportive way.
Mira loves people and making new friends. While she is an energetic and at times bouncy girl, she is neither out of control nor prone to get anxious. In fact, she has a balanced and curious temperament like the breed should but much too often does not. Seeing her direct her energy into a task is a thing of beauty. Naturally you can imagine all the trouble that could arise if her mental (and basic physical) needs are not met, and she is asked to live a boring life. Fortunately, it is not about spending lots of time but rather choosing the right activities. To help matters, she has clearly had some basic training before she came to us.
Due to her high energy level and limited physical boundaries she may not be suited for young children or people with mobility issues.
Mira is good with other dogs. She plays chase with cats in her foster home that run but when they tell her off she stops. When out on walks she wants to chase cats as well as squirrels so it is best to be cautious there.
She is estimated to be 10 months old per beginning of November.
