I am leaving home tomorrow to drive to the UK for Christmas to spend time with my family. I am going to Suffolk for a short time after Christmas with my youngest Vizsla "Teddy Bear" to visit a friend, who trains Vizsla dogs for field trials.He has promised to teach me to to train Teddy .. sounds complicated but I hope that it works.
The reason for this new venture, is that the rules in France state that for a dog to become a champion they must obtain a "good" in a field trial as well as obtaining top wins in championship dog shows, my best dog has won over twenty of these prizes,all over France but he cannot become a champion as he has never been trained for field trials and he is too old to commence now.
This time, I am starting early with the puppy and I hope that I shall find the time to get this one to become a champion, as can be seen in the photographs he is very laid back about his training.I have done some training with him at home and he has been very good ( most of the time) I shall enjoy spending time with him "one to one" instead of having five Vizslas constantly vying for my attention.
Normally, I find that for teaching him things like sit and stay ,he responds better in the house where he does not get too distracted.
However in the huge fields of England, which are full of pheasants, I think that I shall have a bit of a struggle to contain him.!
I will keep you posted.
Please send us you best photograph of the year for the January Vizsla picture parade.
To all of our Vizsla owners Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
We hope to have a new litter of puppies in the spring.
