Berger Picards and
Ibizan Hounds
The name FlyWire is a combination of my two breed loves, both wire coated dogs that are, well, "FLY"!
About us:
Joe and I have been into dogs, horses, and all kinds of animals for 20 plus years. I have competed in agility and rally with our other dogs, was a Reg. Vet technician, a horse trainer, and have been an ER nurse for 25 + years, recently finishing another nursing degree. My husband is puppy raiser extraordinaire as well as a plumber and super 'fix-it' guy. We have both volunteered in foster, rescue, and breed club work, and I currently hold the position of Show Chair for our local AKC club, the Shenandoah Valley Kennel Club.
We currently have 6 dogs: 5 Picards and an Ibizan Hound. We also have 2 parrots and 2 ferrets.
We are founding members and board members of early Berger Picard Clubs and we are active in the United Berger Picard Alliance. Please go to the links section to learn more about our breed clubs and to get involved in the breed.

Fr. Import
Gr Ch Troubadour du Roc de Melusine (Jack)
has been bred to
CA URO1 Ch Eko Catou de la Vallee d'Ottowa, RL1,HT,TT
Puppies are expected in early July. This is an exciting litter, we have bred to Jack to concentrate on temperament and longevity. He is 9 1/2 years old, and is still active in showing, herding cattle at home, and fabulous with other dogs and children.
We are currently taking a few more applications, so please contact me at flywire1@gmail.com if you are interested, because the waiting list is almost full. This will be Eko's last litter for some time, as she and I would really like to get back into performance events. And with Jack turning ten this year, it may likely be his only litter in the US.
Our import Gr. Ch. Chaudron du Mauvais, HT, TT has been bred three times and is currently NOT available to stud, as we see how his puppies grow up. He has been collected and may be available to future generations through frozen AI.
