Goodbye wonderful Ruckus

It is with great sadness that we said goodbye to Wired Haired V Ruckus on Monday. Ruckus was Zöldmáli Bikfic NAVHDA NA, born April 1, 2004. He had had radiation therapy for a brain tumour last year and had been doing well in the last month regaining his mobility and zest for life. Unfortunately he was struck down last Friday with loss of balance and spasms and an MRI on Monday showed multiple affected brain sites.


 Ruckus was the second WHV I worked with in the show ring and watched as his loving owner trained and worked her first field worked dog to his NAVHDA NA. I met him at about 6 months of age and remained close to him until the end. 

Ruckus was a fighter in his drive to live. He was funny and loving, and an outstanding companion for his family. He was my Grandma's boy, and I loved him so. 


Rest our dear one. You are so missed

Newest girl in our lives

 Introducing Kiwi, a Vizsla - Wire-haired, from England. I am a co-owner of her but she will be living with one of the other owners for the most part. I will have the  thrill of show training and showing her.
She was at the vet yesterday so I snapped a few photos of her. She is 6 months old today and is really coming together nicely. She also has a lovely temperament and loves to kiss.

She is officially called Gingerwire Grand Alliance. Here is a link to her full pedigree     http://www.vizsladatabase.com/details.php?id=114020

This breeder has judged the breed at Crufts, the largest dog show in the world.
