Iris :: Hearing Dog
Iris is a gorgeous 20 month old cockerpoo (poodle x cocker spaniel), bred and born at the Hearing Dogs Headquarters, The Grange. This cross breed is a popular choice for Hearing Dogs because they do not moult.
She is a Hearing Dog partnered with deaf MK resident, Jane Minard and they travel to work together to London, where Iris is very popular with Jane’s work colleagues.
Jane says that Iris is a very clever and crafty dog, she knows in advance what is going to happen and she is particularly quick in alerting Jane to the smoke alarm. Her favourite toy is a tennis ball, which she always carries in her mouth when she’s not working. She is particularly friendly and affectionate.
Congratulations are due to Jane and Iris as they have recently passed their final assessment and Iris has become a fully fledged Hearing Dog.
