This is it.
2026 is the year I say goodbye to some dreams and choose to focus on new ones.
It has been a long, heavy four years.
This small dream began in Poland, after I couldnāt find a reputable breeder in Canada without endless waiting lists. What followed was years of sacrificeāfinancial, emotional, and physical. Thousands of dollars spent on health testing (many donāt even know what OFA testing is), club memberships, dog shows, and provingāover and overāthat my girl was healthy, sound, and worthy of becoming a mother.
Finding a stud that met Vizsla Canada standards felt nearly impossible. Disappointment after disappointment. Too often, quality is overlooked. People choose backyard breeders or mixed litters and believe theyāve hit the jackpotāwhile ethical breeding continues to be undervalued. A mixed breed isnāt automatically healthier; health comes from responsible breeding and testing, not random pairing.
For four years, we did everything right. The best food. Proper training. Endless care and love. But just like humans, a dogās body can be unpredictable. Every single heat cycle brought a phantom pregnancy that took a toll on her physical and mental well-being. Even veterinarians here didnāt know how to properly manage itāI had to import medication from Europe.
Today, Iām walking away with a broken heart and deep disappointment. Iāve lost hope in the future of ethical purebred breeding programs in Canada.
To those who patiently waited for good news that never cameāor for promises that were ultimately misleadingāI am truly sorry.
So this is where our journey ends. Iāve exhausted my savings, my strength, and my hope. Sometimes, the bravest thing we can do is let go and move forward.
I wish everyone nothing but the bestāand I hope you make thoughtful, responsible decisions when choosing your next furry family member.
With love,
