Kati celebrating her 9th birthday!

Kati from our 2007 litter celebrated her 9th birthday Jan 16, 2016. She loves her big toy birthday present! Thank you so much owners for the photos - they mean so much to us.

I have changed computers and I am still figuring out how to crop and save photos etc so it has taken a while to get these up to share. 

Kati became a grandmother in 2015 with the birthing of Rogue's litter but she in not letting that take away her puppy edge!

Kati loves to suck on her toys and she  has some new stuffies to enjoy in February.

 Her Grandpa Remmie was our first toy sucker...we love to see it in  his line of offspring!

Quinn, Kati's son, loves his toys too. Winter is a great time to enjoy them indoors. Thank you owners for these great photos of these two! They are looking great.

Happy Birthday to You

In 2009, on this day our wonderful  Jewel (Ch. Blackbullet Varazs Legacy NAVHDA NA) gave birth to her second litter. The sire was Dezso ( Ch.Jaybren's Heart Desire CD, RN)
  Kyber, Horton, Astro, Jasper, Hugo, Vida, Jax and Marcipan..we love you so much. Happy 4th Birthday to you!

In 2012, on this day, our wonderful Kati ( Ch. Blackbullet Hudson's Touch NAVHDA NA) gave birth to her first litter. The sire was Charlie ( MBISS Dunantul"S Czardas of Tierah)
Quinn, Remi, Finn, JuJuB, Rogue, Angus, Blue, Teaka.. we love you so much - Happy 1st Birthday to you!

Both these breeding were to the  Vizsla line of Jaybren/Tierah...the only breedings into those lines we were able to do..and both were born on the same day 3 years apart..we could not plan that sort of thing!

Thank you so much breeders and owners for all your help and support; it means so much to us.

Recent news

The first weekend in June, Sydney and Quinn attended 3 days of dogs shows in Edmonton. The weather was a challenge one day but the others were not too bad. Quinn is really getting the hang of this show business and is having moments when he looks stunning. He is maturing slowly but those flashes show what his is going to soon be showing us. Those shows  finished off his shows as a puppy.
Sydney made the cut  to 6 in the group on Saturday and was awarded a Group 4th placement on Monday.  Pictures  of both dogs on the move inside the ring and  of Sydney on the podium are on their way. Both were owner handled all the way.

Kati, mother to our 2012 litter, was spayed and had an extensive  dental last week. She is recovering well but of course is not enjoying her confinement.

Sydney is in heat so I am glad we are getting that out of the way before the next group of shows.

Remi is coming to visit for a few days so things will be a bit busy with managing the boys and girls.

Jasmine was suppose to come at the end of May but since I have been fighting several levels of ill  health, it was great that a neighbour of her owners were able to take her into their  home. We miss her and hope she can come again soon.

The lawns and trees are getting wild with all the rain and no time to trim anything..it feels like a jungle!

Kati (2007 litter) and her son Quinn (2012 litter)

Kati looking great in her orange collar joined Quinn in enjoying their yard free of snow at last!

Love those flying ears Quinn.  Thank you so much owners for the great photos of these two!

Quinn and Kati

 Kati in the red collar and Quinn in the Blue March 02, 2013. Quinn has really shot up now. He is as tall as him mother.

Kati, ears flying, feeling the joy of racing about.

Lovely shots of Quinn in the sun. Quinn had a little encounter with a stick to the chest but it has healed well and the coat will be grown in soon.

 Like this Dad, is this how you want me to do it? Quinn was entered in a show in February but did not go. He will start his show days in late March.

Standing so quietly  one moment and then attacking his mother the next..Quinn is on top here.

Thank you so much owners for the great photos! It is so great to receive them and see what those pups are doing.

New News

Happy 6th Birthday to our 2007 litter! Each one is doing well as are their parents Jewel  and Hudson. We are thrilled with each pup from that litter. Thank you Kathy Rust for letting us use your Hudson for this breeding. We love you pups so much. We were so impressed with it that we bred the second generation from Kati from that litter this summer. We are thrilled with those  pups too.

A new field training book...I have not read it but it may be worth picking  up since it recognizes the importance and much needed place  of positive reinforcement in field training!

'How to Help Gun Dogs Train Themselves'  by Joan Bailey. I'm looking forward to reading it.

We are really having a lot of fun with our dog visitor 6 month old Cayo. He is fitting in very well and is a love bunnie too.

Quinn from our 2012 litter is heading out to his first shows this weekend. We thank his owners so much for all the time and money they have invested in getting him ready and sending  him for this first experience. We will be there in our hearts!

Sophie from our December 15, 2010 litter is the first pup to have her OFA hip and elbow scores recorded...BLACKBULLET JEWEL'S KATEENA is OFA hip scored as Good and Elbow scored as Normal!! Thank you so much owners for having these done. The rest of the results for her littermates will be available soon.


Our wonderful  Dalmatian Diamond who was struck down with what may be either idiopathic vestibular syndrome or a stroke or perhaps cancer is fighting hard to recover if she can. She will be 14 in March. We continue to try to keep her comfortable and  meet her needs and pray for her recovery.

Kati and son

New CERF eye test results

Kati on point - Ch. Blackbullet Hudson's Touch NAVHDA NA PRIZElll - from our 2007 litter has had her eyes CERF cleared as 'Normal'! She is also OFA hip scored Good and elbow scored Normal. Her 2010 thyroid results also showed normal ratings and no antibodies.

2007 pups having lots of fun

While Jasmine was assisting at the tennis court on the West coast, Kati was out hunting down birds in Alberta.

• Thank you photographer Scott Scheideman for sharing the photo of Kati caught on point!

More OFA results for 2007 litter

We have received the OFA hip score of GOOD and an elbow score of NORMAL on Kati (Ch. Blackbullet Hudson's Touch NAVHDA NA) from our 2007 litter! Kati will soon also have her first eye and thyroid tests done this year.

Thank you so much owners for having this done. We are thrilled with the results of course and thank those who have bred the dogs that have formed her pedigree for working to select dogs who carried the genes to make these results possible.

Pictured on the left Kati tells her brother Kaiser that she owns the sofa while their mother Jewel lays along the back of the sofa and takes in the outside view. Kati and Kaiser were both able to visit at the same time so we were very lucky as Kaiser has since moved to Ottawa.

Other news:

• Zsofi ( 2007 litter) is reported to be having a great summer with her Vizsla uncle Chester (2004 litter) and carrying on her mother's tradition of making sure the best cuddle spots are hers!

Jasmine (2007 litter) is going to holiday with her family in the Kelowna area this year. We hope she can get together with her litter mate Fred while they are there for a good Vizsla play time.

Jewel is really increasing in size and shape quickly. It could be due to a large litter or due to this being her second litter. We have started feeding her puppy food to increase her caloric intake and benefit from the different balance of nutrients in the puppy food. She seems pleased with this food now if she waits for breakfast until about noon when her stomach has settled a bit. We seem to be past the worst of the nausea and regurgitation she was experiencing up to this week.

I am working with the several of the owners and breeders of many of the dogs in the pedigree of Jewel's expected litter to up date and complete a 6 generation pedigree to keep us current on those dog's accomplishments and also to be made available to our puppy owners. We are also putting the finishing touches on the whelping room as it changes from office to delivery and litter room. I am making crate pads for small crates in anticipation of their 'going home' packages while I have the time.

May 2009

• We received news that Kati ( 2007 litter) has had her hips and elbows xrayed for OFA ratings. Thank you so much owners! We look forward to hearing her scorings.

Kaiser's owner Carey took his leash for her first venture into the show ring..and came away with Best of Breed! Way to go! Kaiser is a great dog to show as he likes the shows, is patient and is such a handsome Vizsla. Congratulations to both of you and thank you so much to Kaiser's owners for all their hard work in preparing for and getting Kaiser to the show! Sylvia Dorosh showed him to two BB over 'specials' last time he was shown in the fall so he is continuing his winning ways.

We have welcomed home our wonderful Jewel from her travels to Washington state and now wait for her ultra sound to confirm her pregnancy.

We received great news that Chance (2007 litter) was pronounced very fit and healthy at his annual vet check.

Kaiser (2007 litter) will soon be re-entering the show ring. His owners are going to step into the ring for their first show experience! We hope they have a great time.
Below Kaiser enjoyed the fireplace and his bed. We sure miss him since he moved to Ontario!

May 3 - Rufous (2007 litter) went home. We hope to see him again in the fall. He had a very successful ring win of 3 points and a great day in the field at NAVHDA training day. We were so happy to share those times with him!

Jewel still in the US. Wes reports she is enjoying the walks along the Columbia River.

Wishing our wonderful daughter Dr. Tasha Nicholle Sims a very, very Happy Birthday! We are so blessed to have her as part of our family and we treasure each day we share.

April 2009

• Jewel finally went into heat and so we were headed to Washington state for her to be bred.
• April 21 A very Happy Birthday to each of our pups from our 2005 litter! Each one is so dear to us. Vegas celebrated with birthday cake and a balloon and of course lots of attention from friends and helped her owner by digging up the newly planted veggie garden!
• April 18 - First NAVHDA training day for the year. What a thrill to have our Rufous (2007 litter) and Blaze (Varazs Vizslas) and Denny ( Kizmar Vizslas) in the field.
• April 4 - Rufous (2007 litter) was brought by his owners to the the Red Deer dog show and had a great Saturday in the ring taking the breed for 3 points towards his championship. Blaze, bred by Sylvia Dorosh also had a good show day reflecting all the training from his owners!
