Eight for Eight!

Varazs Vizslas has 3 birthdays in June!  Yesterday, one litter turned six and today, the eight puppies from our 2006 litter turn 8! 
Hence, 8 for 8!

Taken June 17, 2014 on Tyro's birthday

Eight for Eight!

Happy 8th Birthday to our 2006 litter born June 17th.  The 8 puppies turning 8 are:  Lucy 1, Lucy 2, Nika, Ruby1, Lloyd, Tessie, Tucker and our Tyro . They are out of Am/Can/Int'l Ch Kizmar Touch of Evil CD RE JH (Hudson)  and our  Nova (CH Ferngold Varazs Innovation Can/Am CD, FDJ, JH, Can/Am RA, Am RE, Am RAE, CGN.)  Many people mistake Tyro for a puppy because of his high energy and youthful appearance!! He doesn't have much grey hair except for a bit under his chin. 

Happy Birthday Puppies!

Puppies 12 days old.

Happy 6th Birthday to our 2008 litter born June 16th.  The 6 puppies turning 6 - hence 6 for 6 are:  Andras, Blaze, our Diva, Gunner, Quest and Piper. They are out of Ch Hubertus Quality Control FDj (Ozzie) imported from Australia and our Miska (Ch Varazs Kiralyi Kedvesem etc etc etc.)

Busy Birthday Bees!

Stella and Bodi (from our 2011 breeding between Brick and Miska born May 31) who just celebrated their 3rd birthday, were very busy on their birthdays earning new titles!!!  Stella and her hu-mom competed in a Cdn Association of Rally Obedience (CARO) trial to earn her Rally Advanced (RA) title and Bodi was in the US completing his Americah Kennel Club (AKC) Rally Novice (RN) title.  So two sibs and two titles on their third birthday! 

Bodi in repose with his new title (Rally Novice) rosette and ribbons!

And Bodi also earned two more AKC Coursing Ability Advanced legs while he was at it on his birthday weekend. That's as in "lure coursing"!

Way to go kids!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MILA!!!

Happy 14th Birthday to Mila (M-OTCH Szuni's Shooting Star UD FDX TD AGI AGDC AADC CGC)!  She was sired by my beloved Sasha (Am/Cdn Ch Varazs Kiraly Sassy Sasha Am/Cdn CDX, Am RAE, FDJ, CGC, CGN).  Her birthday was actually yesterday (July 25).  I am very pleased to report that many of Sasha's kids have lived well into their senior years (12+) and some have reached 13 and now 14!!!  I am hoping his longevity genes carry through to all of his offspring!! 

Happy Barkday Mila!!!  May you live long and be healthy for years to come!!!

Thanks to owner/breeder Susan Scobie of Szuni Reg'd Vizslas for the use of the video (below) and the pictures of Mila which were taken on her 14th birthday.

Below is a video showing Mila beating up her two-year old grandson, Galen, in Vancouver BC where they live.  Despite her senior years and almost white coat, Mila still can dish it out when needed!! Old girls rock!!

Birthday girl today - 10 years young

Birthday girl Lucy

I love hearing from the owners of our puppies, especially when it's good news or just to get updates and photos of the dogs. 

The owner of CH Varazs Nyar Sea Breeze, aka Lucy, sent me these recent pictures of her.  Lucy, who lives on the west coast of Canada just turned 7 years of age on June 17, was out of our 2006 litter with our beloved dam Nova and stud dog Hudson (CH Kizmar Am/Can/International CH Kizmar Touch of Evil JH RA).  Lucy has, in my opinion, a lovely face and head.  I can see in the first photo that just like her brother Tyro, Lucy is getting a few white hairs under her chiny-chin chin.  Depending on whether you consider the Vizsla to be a medium-size or large-sized breed (I consider it to be medium), a 7-year old dog is about equal to 47 in human years.  Lots of people start to get grey hairs before this but by around 47 - 50, most of us are starting to turn grey so maybe this is also  normal in dogs.  Whaddya think?.

Two females in that litter were given the call name Lucy so to distinguish them, I had to refer to them as Lucy 1 and Lucy 2.  This was Lucy 2.   I especially love the photo of Lucy with the birthday hat on!!  Many thanks to Barb K for the photos!!  Happy Birthday again Lucy 2!!

Lucky 7!
