Who is Heron and Hound Ibizans?
I (Meegan Pierotti-Tietje) live in Durham, NC with my husband and our two children. I began my love of dogs and the breed ring at a very early age. My mother bred, raised and showed Golden Retrievers for many years and I was often "baby sat" by her favorite Golden, Lady.
I began showing in Jr. showmanship with my Golden, Teddy when I was 12 and I never really stopped. After several years my mother and I both became very interested in the grace and movement that can only be found in the hound group. She gravitated towards smaller dogs (Whippets and eventually the Italian Greyhound) while my interests gravitated towards the hound group.

I remember meeting Judy Parker of Bramblewood Kennels at Sampson State Park, nearly 12 years ago. It was that day that I met Kepheran. Kepheran was my very first Ibizan and the very best dog. He moved like a dream and was the best companion you could ever wish for. Kepheran was a great ambassador for his breed and the neighborhood clown! Kind of like Clifford the big red dog! He was my constant friend and companion for nearly 11 years and the space in my heart will never be filled. the time came to say goodbye to my old friend, I knew I would live with another Ibizan. Life without "that face" was too much to bear. I began searching and eventually purchased two wire haired Ibizan litter mates (Apollo and Pan). At Present, Heron and Hound is home to dogs that excel in the ring, on the field, and in various performance and companion activities.
