Portrait of Iris at the age of 2 years old


Champion Cross for Iris from the Dutch Kennel Club

Iris was my first Bichon Frise dog and she will always keep a very special place in my heart. I imported her from England, where she was born in 1994. Besides her extremely intelligent and sweet character, she was very beautiful as well. I showed her to Dutch and International Champion, also she became Top Bichon Frise of the Netherlands.

Iris enjoyed going for a short walk on the beach with Bathine and me, and at home she preferred to sleep a lot but when awake, she loved staring out of the window to watch what is going on outside...

After a short illness, Iris passed away on 7th June 2005. She will always be remembered.






Iris 10 weeks old.
