JUDGING VIZSLAS IN THE USA
After a long day of judging Gundogs (Sporting dogs) I was ready for my entry of 80 which I am told was a record, (last year they had 61). Being a twilight show they had to bring special lights in so I wouldn’t have to judge in the dark because of the excess entry. I found the overall quality of the dogs was excellent but like any breed there was both good and bad. Heads were different and I felt the plains were not as defined as what we have here and I didn’t find the |

median line as distinct as in our dogs. The difference in size was quite noticeable in a lot of classes especially in the bitches which I found generally much smaller & finer boned. The movement was outstanding. When the veterans came into the ring I went “WOW” their movement took my breath away especially the veteran bitch that was 11 years old handled by a little girl; the two were quite a team. I almost forgot to tell them to stop it was such a glorious sight. I even considered the Veteran dog as one for my selection for Best of breed but he started to wilt towards the end. |

BOB winner had gone 2nd in Group at the Echo Hills Kennel Club show
earlier in the day which I didn’t know about as I was whisked
away for a sleep in one of the motor homes. I had judged 137 Weimaraners
the day before and was determined to have a rest before the Vizsla
judging commenced. I thoroughly enjoyed the Vizsla people and the great sportsmanship displayed. The condition of the dogs was outstanding; they were clean, in rock hard condition and handled to perfection. This experience was one I will remember for a long time and I would like to thank the people who have taken the time to give me positive feedback. I hope I get the opportunity to some day return and judge them again. Carol Wright |

of you had never met the queen of my Vizsla household, but Cat died
in my arms this morning after no sign of illness. A queen to the moment
of her death. She got up some time during the night to go out to pee
and made it back into the house (no small feat up the flight of stairs
from the back yard) in thru the dog door before she collapsed. She
was still alive but pale and cool. I called for help to move her so
that I would not hurt her more and she said "NO, I will go before
you can take me to the vet".
I had promised when we did surgery on her about 5 years ago that
I would not do any further surgery, and she held me to the promise.
The necropsy found a I just returned from a 10 day trip, she waited, had fun with the visitors that were waiting when I returned. She had a good life and left this world a queen-making the rules. Rhoda |
