Welcome to Lane's page, updated September 2025

Lane comes from the first breeding of Vizsla we ever did. Over the years I have had different blood lines but Lane comes through our first dog Scarlett.

Lane is extremely sweet girl and when I chose her name it came from DC comics and Lois lane. Everyone knows I love a good comic movie. Her mum was called Leya after Star Wars, and I wanted a name with L. I have hoped to keep a puppy from Lane but so far not done it. Lane had just one sibling and I am in contact with owner and he is indeed VERY handsome. When Lane had her first litter she had 9 in her litter. You never know if a bitch will be very fertile and her mum wasn't but Lane is.

So going back in time we had our first Vizsla called Scarlett we had from Hilary Davis of Shelseivad affix. We were so grateful for such a beautiful bitch who gave us our passion for the breed. Scarlett was mated to Fuge which was an outcross mating, then we kept Ginga, who we mated back to Chilli our champion dog. We had Leya and then mated Leya to Indie who produced Lane. So there you have the history of the bloodline.

Lane is a very fit and healthy dog, but she loves food and at the moment does need to loose weight but Ive mated her so can not. But She is fit and healthy and she is a lovely dog to own. I really do forget she's with me sometimes as she is not over the top kind of dog. She is quiet, sits there quite happy on her bed. So well behaved. Lane was taken to obedience training as a puppy and she soon picked up everything she needed to know.

Lane is not a small boned bitch, she is what we call workman style, so although not tall she has bone and great colour. She has a very pretty head which she gets from her father. She has a lovely deep chest to elbow, and nicely angulated at the back. She is a soft and kind looking dog. I know in history the head was described as Gaunt in the standard, but Lane is very pretty, chiselled and kind face.

Lane is an excellent traveller and goes everywhere with us for walks. She is so happy when she knows ive picked up the leads which means we are on the way out. She is good with other dogs she meets on walks. She watches butterflies on the river bank and moths, and they fascinate her. Its lovely as when I see her looking it I now know to look what she is looking at and its usually those pretty rare blue moths. But this year she was the one which made me realise we had a rare moth in the garden. A Hummingbird hawk moths come to the garden and on the patio. I first saw them on my own, but the second time Lane was sitting on the sofa having coffee with me and she suddenly looked at my Salvia plant and I knew the moth was back. Both of us transfixed as they look like birds. I think we were both equally as fortunate that day.

Lane loves a game of ball and loves to chase the ball and she brings it straight back to me. She often out runs the boys to get it. She loves her dad Indie and they live together sometimes. We still own the Dad and he is rarely shown now as he's won such a lot but he is in veteran classes now. If I leave the crate open both will be together in there. She doesnt like the business of a puppy, and she likes a quieter life now days. She is an angel and never chewed a thing in the house, and she never peed in the house. She house trained instantly and has been such a good girl all her life. We are selective in the way we breed and although Lane is not shown her attributes of an excellent pet is just what our owners are looking for. People can not cope these days with those OTT dogs which do not stop and want to be working all day long. So we breed dogs for the family home.
Lane is very patient and she communicates with me such lot with her eyes and body language. Lane does love others younger pups and will get in the whelping box to clean others puppies. She's so sweet. But when they get to the bitey stage she disappears as if to say they are yours now. She's got such a super personality.

Now Lane is not a people dog, she is an owners dog. Which means she really couldnt give a toss about you. She only has eyes for me and my husband. Once she knows you then she is happy to interact with you. But do not expect her to be jumping all over you for a start as she will ignore you. She is a snob and actually I love this. It was this trait that even saved her mother from dog thieves. One day we had thieves and they they had a job to grab Leya. But they did grab her and pull her by the ears down my paddock to try and get her in the van but because she put on a good display of heavy body weight and not moving they couldnt get her in time before my husband saw them off. So believe me when I say this kind of ignoring people for a start is something I want in a dog. Once you get to know her she is a bit of a traitor and will go and sit on you. ha ha. But she will weigh you up first suspiciously. What a good girl.

Lane is another who likes home comforts and extra blankets. I know the Vizsla is that kind of dog anyway but she defo does. I keep thinking of buying her a cosy cave den. But then I never get around to it.

Lane can eat anything at all. In fact she lives for her dinner. I feed her twice a day and mornings she has a treat to chew on also. Probably why she needs to loose a bit lol.

As a puppy she was on the paler side in coat colour but after her first season her true russet gold coat came in. This commonly happens to Vizsla. She now is the perfect coat colour for the breed and her eyes are nice and dark now. As a youngster they were on the paler side. Eye colours comes when the dogs are older. I know some breed people will tell you that does not happen but it really does.

Lane often wears a collar which is white with flowers on just so you can pin point her. Although over time she's worn burnt orange collar through to pinks. But for now we are floral.

We plan on keeping a girl puppy from Lanes second litter. Because her second litter is going to be her final litter as she is now 5. So why is age important to me? I do not breed dogs over the age of 6, and the next opportunity would be over 6. As I say to friends who breed dogs their are some circumstances why I think its okay to breed from an older dog, like you've lost your blood line and its the only way to redeem it. But generally dogs appreciate early retirement. It's about their welfare, whats good for them as a dog.
