CROATIA
Mia
FOUNDER · HEAD BREEDER · MENTOR
I have worked with dogs for over two decades, training, competing, and breeding at a high level across multiple disciplines. Over the years I refined my skills and deepened my understanding of canine genetics, but I was still searching for a breed that truly matched my values.
After years of research, I committed to the Canis Panther and imported the first specimen to Europe in 2019 from Rock of Ages kennel in the USA. This was the beginning of what became the Above & Beyond, a long-term, structured development of the Canis Panther in Europe.
