Fortuna was the foundation bitch of the Tirowen kennels.

She was the litter sister to UK Ch Erindale Grand Duchess and she was the perfect start in the breed for us. She had the most gentle, dignified and loving nature – but had an ever alert eye and loved to chase: ‘gentle when stroked, fierce when provoked’. Of interest, in retrospect, is the fact that, having Fortuna in a pedigree was almost a guarantee of longevity in her descendants.
