OVERVIEW
What she is
Yera de las Flores is a titled, highly versatile working female with exceptional athleticism, strong natural hunt, and the kind of environmental confidence that allows her to perform in virtually any setting. She is a dog that moves easily between sports and working tasks, showing the same willingness, clarity, and intensity whether the assignment is tracking, protection, barn hunt, scent work, dock diving, or fast CAT.
Her work is marked by commitment and adaptability. Yera engages fully, learns quickly, and carries her training across disciplines without loss of clarity or attitude. She has proven herself in IGP, earned multiple Barn Hunt championship and elite run titles, and has shown the same quality of expression in tracking, scent-based tasks, and athletic events.
In daily life she is routine-oriented, easy to live with, and highly dependable. She is capable of settling when nothing is required, then transitioning immediately into work when asked. That balance, combined with her sound mind and broad usability, is what makes her a particularly complete working female.

HOME LIFE
Yera is a social, well-rounded female with a friendly temperament and clear everyday manners. She is neutral with other dogs, shows little interest in social play, and prefers purposeful activity over unnecessary interaction. She is reliable around small animals in daily life, travels easily, and handles hotels, Airbnb stays, flights, and new locations without issue.
She is affectionate and deeply connected to her handler, but not dependent or chaotic. She enjoys engagement, settles cleanly when routine is established, and adjusts readily to changing environments. Her suspicion is appropriate and clear, but once introduced she accepts people without lingering conflict.
LEGACY
Yera represents the kind of female valued in a long-term working program: broad utility, stable temperament, environmental confidence, and the ability to excel across disciplines without sacrificing clarity. She is not limited to one venue. She is the kind of dog that repeatedly proves the quality of the underlying dog, regardless of the sport or task placed in front of her.
BREEDER'S NOTES
Yera demonstrated exceptional maternal stability during her time with us.
When she arrived in Texas for breeding, Yera was carrying her first litter and entering an entirely new environment. She transitioned into the household and kennel routine calmly and without hesitation, despite being separated from her owner and familiar surroundings.
Throughout whelping and the early weeks of the litter, she was attentive, composed, and highly responsive to guidance. As a first-time mother she accepted handling and direction without stress or defensiveness, allowing routine puppy care, monitoring, and management to proceed smoothly.
Yera proved to be an engaged and dedicated mother, maintaining close attention to her puppies while remaining mentally clear and cooperative with the humans managing the litter.
The level of environmental stability and trust she demonstrated — traveling across the country while pregnant, integrating into a new kennel environment, and confidently raising her litter among unfamiliar people — reflects the sound temperament and clear-headedness we value in the breed.
