In the first field trial of her adult Gun Dog career (and after having received her Derby points), Kenzee received a call-back.  She then followed up by placing in 12 stakes, including recieving a major and retrieving points.  Thanks to her drive and "cleanliness," she received the 2009 Tampa Bay Vizsla Club Amateur Gun Dog of the Year traveling trophy with 207 points and 12 competitors, including AFCs and FCs.  Kenzee also completed her Junior and Senior Hunter titles with eight consecutive qualifies.  Now on hiatus, and close to her FC and AFC titles, she will resume her field career with baby in tow in the fall of 2010.  Kenzee was easy to finish her show championship in the Bred By Exhibitor class with four 4-point majors and some change!

Chase and Raisin were the right combination for making great Raisinettes!  Kenzee is the love of my life, the center of my universe.  Twizzler, her given movie-candy name, was red-collared girl and the second of six (the first girl) to make her appearance during the wee hours of March 21, 2005.  From the start, she demonstrated confidence, independence, great social skills, and beautiful conformation.  Thankfully, my handling skills were better honed by the time it came to show her.  My first bred-by-exhibitor pup, I proudly worked her and she finished her championship with no problem.  Like her mom, four 4-point majors and some change (though in a much shorter span)...with nice compliments from her judges along the way.  She even took Best in Sweepstakes at a VCMA specialty show at seven months old!

Kenzee shows grace and aptitude in the field, like her mom.  Very early on, she showed her natural ability to find and point quail with enormous enthusiasm and style.  And, like her mom she qualified in four attempts each during her Junior and Senior hunt tests.  We also took to field trialing, where she placed in several Derby stakes and winning first place in Amateur Derby at a GSP trial with 16 starters on her last run before she aged out.  It was during that run when I watched her honor her tiny Brittany bracemate on point.  What a thrill!!

Quite unlike her stubborn mom, Mackenzee was very easy to train and to break.  As a broke dog, Kenzee hangs with the best of 'em.  In her first season participating in gundog stakes, she placed in 15 walking and riding field trials with me on foot.  She won a 3-point major in her first Open Gun Dog stake, and is closing in on her Field and Amateur Field Championships!  Not bad for just getting our feet wet in a four-month span.  She also won the Tampa Bay Vizsla Club 2009 Amateur Dog of the Year award against very tough competition, including Field and Amateur Champions!  I am one proud mama, and look forward to more fun in the field with my little freckle-nosed munchkin.
