Fondation Mira
1994
My first experience with this breed was through a coordinated effort with the MIRA Foundation and a shelter for women and children who were victims of violence. A collaborative effort was succesful. Thanks to the knowledge and guidance of Mr. Noël Champagne, psychologist within the Foundation and Mr. Eric St-Pierre, fondeur of Fondation Mira.
Puppy selection :
“Dogs faithful to their mission”
This represents the motto of our breeding, which applies to our dogs at an early age. Starting at just 4 weeks, puppies already start to demostrate personality traits and certain behaviour. This is a fundamental process which enables us to pair off the right puppy with the future owner.
During my career as a breeder of Labrador Retrievers and Professional dog Trainer, I had the opportunity and the privilege to pair many puppies for specific purposes and according to people’s needs. Here are a few examples:
Three puppies were trained to become detecting dogs for the Canada Border Services Agency;
One of my pups is presently living with an Canadian Armed Forces Veteran, with Traumatic Stress Disorder;
Other puppies have been carefully selected and evaluated and become Service dogs in Zootherapy;
Another one of my pups lives with a young blind boy dealing with Autism;
Serveral of our selected puppies underwent training and are currently living with people diagnosed with Depression and Anxiety Disorders;
Two young adults suffering from Progressive Vision Loss, brought home one of my pups as a Companion, to help them live with their illness.
Canada Border Services Agency
Within our litters, some puppies have been selected as potential candidates to work at Canada Border Services Agency
