Kit and Elle earn first field trial placements and Hawk adds another.

The Vizsla Club of Metro Atlanta held its annual fall trial this year the weekend after Thanksgiving. Kit and Elle ran in the Open Puppy stake and both surprised us with placements. Kit took 2nd and Elle took 3rd, not bad for being just over 6 months old.




Hawk is starting to come into his own and grabbed a third place in the Open Restricted Shooting Dog (OLGD), which was a horseback stake. We have high hopes for him in the coming months.

Introducing Pine Straw Covergirl and Pine Straw Pathfinder

Hawk places in hour horseback stake.

On September 29, 2013 Hawk was awarded 4th place in the hour long AKC horseback stake at the GSP club of Eastern Iowa. This was Hawk's very first hour long horseback stake and he had 5 finds in his hour. Not too bad for his first go at it, we'll take a 4th place ribbon!
