Iris
Ch B.Witchn’s Yours Truly Iris CD PT OA OAJ TT VBCV OFA H/E/C/T Cerf

Iris, my foundation bitch, came to me in 1994.   What a wild and headstrong puppy she was.   Funny, she never grew out of those traits!   Iris earned four titles (championship, obedience, herding & agility) before she was bred the first time in 1998.   She produced seven puppies in that litter and produced another four puppies in 2000.   Her puppies have given us three champions, five obedience titles and six agility titles as of April 2005.   Keep in mind many of these pups are still working toward other titles.   Two of the puppies are doing active therapy work and two are working toward carting titles.   Several have their herding instinct certificates and are active in herding training.   Like their mama, with her seven titles, these pups have shown true working temperament and ability.   With Iris’s name in mind, I have tried to name as many pups as possible with botanical names.   Most of the girls have true flower names like their mama.   Some of the males do also.

Iris has a great sense of humor and rules the house like the Queen she is.   Given her great love of leather and her love of ANYTHING that even resembles food, Iris has provided me with many fun tales to relate to those interested in bouviers.   She is a staunch protector of myself and of our home.   She is truly a tough no-nonsense bitch who has not slowed down much, even in her eleventh year.   Iris has helped raise many grand-puppies and is looking forward to her first great grand-puppies.  

She is incredibly special to me as well as many others.   I am so fortunate to have her.
