OUR FEMALE DOGS ARION'S CIRCE DE NOCTURNE cIRCE is a wonderful package of genes wrapped up in a delightful personality. She is beautiful, moves well and carries a long history of very traditional looking Bouviers in the Franco-Belgian style that was seen here in the 60's and 70's. But she also has her working side and brings tons of energy and enthusiasm to whatever she does. Tested for protection training by such notables as Dominique Piton, the noted judge and trainer of French Ring and Mondio Ring, she passed with flying colors. We're not able to do protection sports with her due to lack of availability, but we'll get an obedience title. She has not only the aptitude and desire to do protection work, but also a natural sense of realism about threats. Circe was bred in March 2009 to a wonderful young dog named Samildanach's Cyrano BH CSAU who will get his schutzhund titles in fall of 2009. We are looking for a combination of dynamism, willingness, traditional working and protection ability with a high level of socialability. PEDIGREE ARION'S BATUQUE What eyes! She is the picture of innoncence with the mind of a Borgia. Living with Batuque is like living with a sister who you love deeply but who exasperates you endlessly. She is a great worker and has her own fan club. She is a great mischief maker. That too wins her some fans. Some have said she has the speed of a Malinois and the quickness of a snake. She is my bratty tom boy who has turned out to be a fab mother. But she can't wait to get back to ring sport, her first love. PEDIGREE ARION'S VOLTA" Volta continues the side of Arion's bloodlines that represents the old du Clos des Cerberes lines with Rebel added in. Volta is a very beautiful dog whom people tell me could finish a championship in the breed ring. I don't have time to find out. She has tons of drive and has been tested in bitework...she loves it and is terribly disappointed that she can't go to training...let's me know too! Volta, bred to Vinni, produced some really wonderful dogs including Can Ch Arion's Zeta v. Lamergieir FR Brevet and Arion's Circe and Arion's Canto, beautiful dogs also pictured on this site. I am looking for a forever home for this vibrant and healthy dog so she can spend her life as the special dog for someone now that she is retired after two litters. PEDIGREE ARION's YASMINE Yasmine, the elegant name for my "Opi", is Go's litter sister. She is lively, affectionate, has drive and all that in a very pretty, correct structure. She is the genetic package that embodies 26% Cayce, the dog I started with 30 years ago. PEDIGREE ' "LUCY" ARION's NIZZARDA Lucy had her 15th birthday on March 13, 2009. She is still lively, and, aside from occassionally throwing her back out and being stiff for a few days, is in perfect health. Lucy was a wonderful mother who taught her pups how to play, how to fight back, and gave them great care. That was the motherly side. The rest of Lucy's personality is nothing but devilish. She is my home entertainment system. She watches the magic portal called the TV and protects our home from any invaders who appear on the screen. I have to clean off the nose prints from her attacks. But she is also willing. The day a dog trainer on TV was giving commands and treats to a Golden Retriever, Lucy trotted on over and obeyed every command, but then became very disgruntled that the trainer wasn't giving her treats too. So she started poking her nose at the trainer's hand, then barking in frustration. "Stupid trainer!" Lucy and Rebel are like Dezi and Lucy if they had still been together at age 90. "Lucy, you got some splainin' to do." Iam so grateful for her contributions. PEDIGREE ARION'S OLIVIA Olivia is now 13. She is another that never got around to a title but she showed promise when tested in herding and loved her agility classes where she cut time like crazy with her speed in the only trial she went to. Bad mom! But she has enjoyed being a queen at home and when she was 8 years old, I bred her to Vinni to produce Arion's Yen to Go to Fellstar , better known as GO, Tim Taylor's great herding Bouvier.
