Sydney is number 4 Vizsla in Canada in 2013 - undefeated in the breed

It is official..
The Canadian Kennel Club has announced our Vizsla Sydney, undefeated in the breed ring last year and with only 13 ring experiences in 2013, is number 4 Vizsla in Canada for 2013 with 178 points, all points system.

 She was always breeder/owner handled by me. Although this was never a goal for us with Sydney, it is a nice notation on her accomplishments. She is not an easy dog to show but she keeps me on my toes in the ring.

Sydney follows in her mother's footsteps who was number one female V in Canada in 2005 and brings back memories of our Rex who was number 3 V in 1998 and number 4 in 1999.  

In Western Canada where we have very few Vizsla in the show ring, we were lucky to have some visitors from Oklahoma in 2013 to give us some more breed competition. Most of Sydney's points had to come from group placements; not an easy task for an owner/handler of such a breed in large groups. 

We know we were lucky to have some judges recognize her  qualities and pull her into their group placements. 

Sydney is the best moving Vizsla I have bred. She is as light as a feather on the end of the leash, her top line remains very still and she uses  all her angles and strength  to float around the ring. Sydney is triple bred on her mother's side on the fantastic moving dog Emerald Legacy's Prime Time who took my breath away the first time I saw him move around the ring. She is the only dog I have had or bred who also covers ground like he did and she also takes my breath away.

Thank you Sydney for putting up with this show stuff!
