Four of my dogs did very well at the 2012
Vizsla Society of Ontario's Specialty Show and Sweepstakes. First to the Puppy Sweepstakes.
Elsie, a female puppy from Miska's last litter born May 31, 2011, was entered in the 12-18 month old Female Puppy Sweepstakes. She won her class and then was selected as
Best of Opposite Sex in Puppy Sweeps!

Well done & congratulations!!
ReplyDeleteLOVE your Vizslas!! Quest looked really great; too bad he didn't win Best of Breed.
ReplyDeleteSharon - thanks! I thought he looked great & he was very expertly handled. I was on another one of my dogs at the time. Anyway, it was an honor for Quest to "make the cut' for Best of Breed by a Hungarian judge. I couldn't fault the dog that took Best of Breed since it was a half-brother to Quest so it was 'in the family'. The BOB dog carried more weight & substance than Quest but the following day, the Cdn judge didn't like any of the champions (perhaps too much bone & substance for her?) because she put up the Winners Dog as Best of Opposite over all the Specials (i.e., Champions). We pay for the judge's opinion & that's what we get whether we agree or like it or not.
