I have owned and loved vizslas since 1993. My first beloved, Zoe, was all I needed to be completely addicted.
She was and will always be my eternal soulmate. After she was gone, I was very lucky enough to have in my
life, but for far too short a time, my precious little angel, Ardee. She had so much promise and I still miss
her terribly. Now
I am very lucky to have in my life my two little girls who fill me up and keep me on my toes!
Whether pets or pros, my
girls shine and teach me everyday what it means to be a versatile pointing dog. Both girls showed great
skill in the field at a very young age. Both are trained and handled in each venue by me - with the help of training
buddies. Often humbled by their smarts and my great need for learning the ropes, Raisin and Kenzee prove over
and over that they are contendors and each continues to excel.
I strongly urge anyone considering adding a vizsla
to their family to learn as much about this breed as possible before locking into a decision. Speak to
and visit vizsla owners and breeders! Vizslas are fantastic dogs, but they are not suited for everyone. They
are natural hunters and as such have special needs that may require some changes in your lifestyle and routine. They
require daily off-lead exercise and mental stimulation, so be prepared
to provide this to them. If you give vizslas what they require, they will reward you with a lifetime
of love, friendship and devotion.
If considering adding a vizsla to your family, I encourage you to first get
acquainted with your local vizsla club and get familiar with the breed. There are also AKC events where you can
see vizslas first-hand.
