Willow is now out of puppy classes and into junior. She has been rabies vaccinated so she can go to Europe for a few shows.
I just love her outline, but more than that her movement and personality. She says "LOOK AT ME:!
She is very much like her grandmother Ripley. But also u can see Jovie her half sister. Her pedigree combines some superb dogs in it. I can see me keeping a girl from her in the future. It takes a special kind of something to hit my boxes now with dogs. Because we are at the stage where we are so critical of our own dogs. I guess I have here in my eyes some of the best vizsla. I would like to think im not kennel blind, which is a saying where you cant criticise your own dogs. I am super critical because if we cant be then we cant ever breed improvements. I remember recently a vet telling me "Your what I call an old stockman breeder Rachel, a breeder thats being lost today, and thats such a shame as this new generation of breeders should not be in business!" I had to sit and think about that for one moment. When I thought about it I realised he is quite right. Breeders of pet litters aren't looking for improvements, they breed to sell for money. Then health goes down the pan.
Willow will be my top show bitch for 2024. I am going to handle her because she is small and easy to handle. Ive told Darryl hes showing the bracco Italianos.
Willow was a very easy puppy. She sailed through puppyhood. But let me tell you thats rare. I seemed to strike it lucky with a few of my Vizsla girls as they are so intelligent they love training. As a puppy she just moved! Those in the show world will know what I mean. As we watch movement from 7 weeks, and some move and some dont. She glided across the floor and I knew she was the one for me.
Willow went to ring craft and loved it. Ive got a video on my photo I'll try and share of her at ring craft as a puppy as even then I loved her movement.
Willows mum is Roux, another lovely dog. She really didnt enjoy showing but she won a few shows and then I retired her early as I can not bear showing dogs that hate it. I know some do, and thats fine. But for me personally I do not want to drag a dog around the ring that would rather be at home on the sofa. We have to give them good welfare and recognise who enjoys what activity.
Willow has super front construction and a good fore chest bone which they should all have. Good fore chest makes depth of chest which creates lung room. I also like that she has upright pasterns which the breed calls for but they aren't long. Some as so long it's quite a weakness in the pastern which then causes leg issues later.
Willow went to Windsor champ show and won first place in minor puppy and third place at the Hungarian vizsla club show. I then took her out of the ring to mature. Her next show is Crufts dog show. Then various shows which take my fancy. I have no plans on breeding willow until she is around 3 years of age. To then keep a puppy and it will take me that long to choose a stud dog.
