More new titles

Earlier this year, two Vizslas that I bred earned new titles.  Miska's sister, Katya (DOB June 26/03) and her owner Pauline, earned Katya's Beginner Novice (BN) obedience title on January 7, 2012.  This is a new AKC title.  Congratulations!

And Miska's son, Bodi (DOB May 31, 2011) and his owner Corrine earned their CKC Canine Good Neighbour (CGN) title on January 14, 2012 at the tender age of 6 7 months and 2 days!  And Bodi has also been doing very well in the show ring, having racked up 4 points to date!!  I'm very proud of our dogs and grateful to the owners for providing their Vizslas with very stimulating environments.

And my 3 Vizslas,  Miska, Tyro and Diva each earned their AKC Canine Good Citizen (CGC) titles on February 18, 2012 in Phoenix AZ.  And the same day, Miska also earned her Therapy Dog International (TDI) title.

Canine good neighbour

Our Tyro became our newest Canine Good Neighbour (CGN) today at a test held by the Vizsla Society of Ontario at their annual Fun Day. Despite the pouring rain drumming down on the fibreglass roof of the training centre and the swallow or swift doing flight circuits indoors and driving many dogs crazy, Tyro gave me great focus on the heeling pattern, did a fantastic recall & sit stay, showed no fear or excitement walking through a crowd of strangers with buggies, crutches, hats, etc. In other words, he aced all the tests with the exception of one - during the 3 minute stay with me out of sight, he got up from his down position and started to wonder where I was. However, this still qualified as a pass and now Tyro can add the letters CGN to his official registered name. Woo hoo Tyro! Great work.
