My first dog, Abbott was a golden retriever/beagle mix and he had a lot of issues. He was aggressive due to abuse he had suffered as a newborn puppy. I worked hard with Abbott and learned a lot about dog behavior and dealing with aggression. When we showed for the first time at the county fair I was so nervous I cried and cried. I actually had to be coaxed into the ring by my advisors and my mother! I dried my tears and came out of that ring with 5th place in obedience. I began showing a norwegian elkhound in AKC conformation when I was 11. From there I branched out into obedience, rally, and agility. I saw my first vizsla when I was about 12 and fell in love! I begged my mom for one for years, but she always said they were too high energy. I met my husband Andrew when I was 25, and 2 years later we bought our first vizsla, Maverick. He is the light of our life, and even though we already knew a lot about vizslas we never imagined the insane level of love and devotion that these dogs can give. 2 years later we brought home Rio, who will be the first breeding bitch in our kennel. We could not be more proud of our new baby! This little girl is set on course to do great things and we look forward to the beautiful puppies she will produce.
