A little background information!
About me!
My 1st dog experience began when I was 5 years old. From that day forward I have
always had a companion dog in my life. I have lived longer than many of my wonderful companions Chipper, Sam, Jane, Harriett,
Ringo, Bee Bee, Tigger, Susie, Rastus, Aisha, Ginger, Brandy and Jenny. Yet they will always have a special place in my heart.
At the age of 15 I began obedience training with Rastus. Rastus was the 1st dog with which I studied obedience. We
had a great time and I had a very obedient dog, but Rastus was not AKC registered and we could not compete in the AKC shows.
Some years later I obtained my 1st AKC registered dog, Ginger. She was a beautiful Golden Retriever! What a joy she
was! We had a great time training and competing in AKC obedience competitions! "Ginger Starr Chaser UD" She and I continued
to study obedience and trained until we earned her CD (Companion Dog Title,) her CDX (Companion Dog Excellent Title), and
her UD (Utility Dog Title). We had so much fun together.
As I stated on the home page, I have always loved dogs but
I fell in love with the Vizsla. One evening while attending obedience class a perky red dog (or should I say "Golden Rust"
dog) came into the class. It was love at first site! From that day on I knew the Vizsla was the dog for me!
After
waiting nearly 4 years, in 1999, I was able to obtain my 1st Vizsla! She has been such a joy to our family. "Brandy", CH Titan's
Dream Chaser CD. I began training her for her Companion Dog Title while I worked and studied to learn all that I could about
AKC Conformation. Her Championship Title became our goal. After earning her Companion Dog Title which she earned easliy in
3 shows, we continued working toward earning all of her Championship Points! She completed her Championship Novice owner handled
on 10/31/2003! We learned a great deal! (Just a note of thanks to all of our Friends that helped us obtain this goal......we
couldn't have done it without your friendship and advice!)
Later, after Brandy had passed all of her health clearances, I bred her! See
the Brandy and Murphy's 1st litter....I kept Rose and Co-own Ch Orion out of Brandy and Murphy...Now I have bred her for the
last time and I kept Jenny and Co-own Copper from this litter. Check out Celtic and Brandy's page! Thanks CELTIC and his owner
Laura Bauman!
Rose and I have been showing in Conformation and have begun to study agility! She
loves the agility classes and the Aframe, Teeter, and the Dog walk are her favorites. She is learning so fast. Rose
became an International Champion, Winning a Group 3 in the IABCA shows, and only needing 1 major to complete
her AKC championship.
I began showing Jenny in May of 2008, and she completed her championship in January
of 2009! She completed her Jr. Hunt Test Title in February of 2009 in 4 straight passes. Once
the AKC began the Grand Championship Title, Jenny competed as a Special, and earned her AKC Grand Championship Title (GCH)
in Sept of 2012.
I began showing Copper in Oct of 2008 and now he has completed his Championship on Oct 31st 2009 at the
VCC Specialty immediately following the VCA Nationals! Out of the Bred by Class.
2010 began just right! Copper entered 4 hunt test and with 4 straight
passes, just like his sister, he earned his Junior Hunt Title!
I bred Jenny to Folsom at the end
of Dec 2011 and they produce a wonderful litter, I kept maker from this litter. In Jan 2013 I began showing
Maker, she has made me very proud as a breeder, she accomplished her Championship in 5 show weekends, at only 15 months, winning
Winner's or Reserve Winner's in every All breed show she entered at only 15 months old. Her Litter Sister, Lucy
was showing at the same time and finished her AKC Championship at 16 months. Thanks Folsom! And with all the joy that
2013 had to offer we had sadness as well, In August our Brandy, our Beloved Brood Bitch crossed over Rainbow Bridge.
She will always be in our hearts, and in our line! Thank you Brandy for all the love and devotion you gave to our family.
We miss you.
After completing her Grand Championship in Sept 2012 I bred Jenny to Cisco, I am excited about this
litter! Several of these pups are in training! Waiting for results!
The plans for 2014
will be to continue competing in shows with Maker working toward her Grand Champion, Hopefully puppies in late Feb with
Jenny and Whiskey. Gradually begin showing some of the pups from the Cisco litter. It should be an awesome
year! updated, Jan 1 2014!
