My Dogs
They currently own 4 Working Sheepdogs and 1 Border Collie – ranging from 12 years to 2 years old.
Achievements
Iris says, “My husband’s first GSD qualified for the Barbour Pairs and the Technical final in one weekend, which was a great achievement in the late 90’s for an ABC dog. In the same year she qualified for the Mera Dog final for GSD’s too. I qualified for the UKA First Contact Master Series in 2012, so am very nervous about this upcoming final.”
“My own German Shepherd, Jester, was consistent but never quick enough against the faster Collies.
I now own a red and white Collie, JAI, and I competed in the UKA Games Final in 2009, making 9th place overall.
Together with my husband and a friend we took part in the UKA Team Tournament at the Grand Finals in 2011, and were placed 3rd.”
What has CSJ done for my dogs?
"Having used CSJ Champ for 4 years, the dogs show consistent performance, combined with good health. Knowing this is a natural product without additives gives us confidence that we are providing them with a healthy all round diet."
Biography
Jai
Iris and her husband have been competing in agility since 1994/1995
How it all began
Iris and her husband got their first German Shepherd in 1993. They saw an advert for agility in the local press and when attending the first lesson realised that the trainer taking the class was the breeder of their GSD puppy!
