Exciting News Just In!!!

Ginny's dad DC AFC Bitteroot Semper Fi Cutter went number one Vizsla Amateur Gun Dog of the Year for 2008! This is with his owner/dad, Clint Sails, handling him . For those of you that don't know the Sails' they are wonderful people and they're how I connected with Ginny's mom's owner Kelley Leach. When I went out to pick Ginny up I got to meet both sides of the family and both of Ginny's parents. Cutter is a half brother to our 8 yo Vizsla, Belle, who we had spayed at 6 mo old :( . They are out of Bitteroot Bittersweet Belle who is a CH ROM JH owned by Paul Bernhardt out of Idaho. Cutter is one of the few dogs out of this line who puppies on the ground and we got lucky enough to get one for ourselves. When I visited Cutter I was amazed at how much he is like our Belle and now how much Ginny is like them, these lines obviously hold true to their breeding. They are all Jekyll and Hydes, by this they are snugglers of the best type but when you flip the switch they are all business in the field, plus they've got the looks to do it in the show ring too. Cutter was All Star at the Vizsla Nationals in 2006 and now number one AGD for 2008! Congrats to Val and Clint! Ginny's mom is a beautiful girl too. Zoe, aka CH Ricochet Misty & Col's Pride JH, has also done it in the ring and field and now her pups are doing it too. Ginny's sister is competing in FT's and is doing very well at only 9 months old.

Be sure to watch the family in 2009! Nationals are being held out in their neck of the woods in Virginia (FT) and North Carolina (Conf.). We hope to have Ginny in the conformation events and see Cutter in the FT's, maybe Rose or some other Cuttletts too!
