NOTE FROM THE EDITOR
We've been a big fan of the cooler
wetter summer we've had down our
way. I don't think I've stood on the deck
once this summer and used the finer
skills taught by the girls about sniffing
the air, in my case for bushfire smoke 
They've enjoyed the cooler weather too, though it's
meant less opportunities for beach outings. We even
lit the fire a couple of times in January!
We did have a lovely weekend babysitting Master 4
(going on 40!) and Miss 2, and the girls were on their
best behaviour. One lady even told us as we left the
dog beach that they were 'the best behaved dogs
on the beach'... I'm sure she hadn't seen my eyes
constantly swivelling 360° watching kids and dogs for
the previous hour or so! Then there were the teams
games of 'match'- 'Ninny' was on Jasper's team,
and 'Lala' was on mine... I'm not sure who won.
The committee are all in full tilt now on the downwards
run towards the Easter Championship Shows. We
think this celebration of our Club's 25th Anniversary
will be pretty spectacular. Our house is in a bit of a
state, but I keep promising that will be over in just a
few more weeks!
Lily's looking forward to an outing in the Veteran
Parade at our show - and there are some other 'spring
chickens' who'll also be strutting their stuff. I'm really
looking forward to seeing them in their snow dusted
russet suits... the Americans call them 'sugar faces'
and it's a term I've started to use, I think it's lovely. Our oldest entry in the parade is over 15 years of age!
Sometimes we get calls from people who have sought breed information and have found it difficult to get a response
from some of the breeders on our list. They are very disappointed and some have felt the need to look further afield,
sometimes needing more help in recognising the less committed breeders on the 'fringes' of the breed. We realise that
sometimes the number of enquiries is almost overwhelming, but we hope people will get help from our members.
Nina continues to keep us busy and in touch with the specialist vets - who we like very much, but are actually happy
not to see regularly thanks Nina! We have been relieved to have quality pet insurance cover, but that's its own minefield
lately.
Next issue we hope to have an article on various considerations of finding appropriate cover.
Finally, we are hugely excited with the excellent response to our 2014 Breed Health Survey. Further on in the newsletter
is a summary of surveys submitted, we managed to spread the word quite a long way. We have a number of international
submissions,
and the information from those will be collated separately and also comparatively. But mostly, we are delighted with
the number of responses from Australian Vizsla owners - thank you. We think this in no small part reflects the quality
of the survey and its presentation. It was easy to fill in, both online and in hard copy. The online survey was quick and
organised, a huge thank you to Karyn for this. Many very 'survey savvy' people commented on the quality and ease of
the survey.
Now begins the hard work of correlating and reporting the data gathered by Karyn (THANK YOU again!)- we hope to
have some more feedback next issue. Once reported in the club's newsletter, this information will be posted on our
website and also filtered back to those who helped us distribute the surveys.
We are looking forward to seeing LOTS of you at the Easter Champ shows - we'll be flat out with two shows,
but what a fabulous way to share our dogs with each other. See you there!

VIZSLA HISTORY
from the UK DVDs
DOGS FROM ANOTHER GENERATION
Recently Sue Newman in the UK posted that she'd been
able to have some old UK videos of Vizslas put onto
DVD's and proceeds from sales would go to UK Vizsla
welfare. She explains "The videos from Jean Winter have footage of Vizslas
from shows in 1985 & 1986. The quality is very good,
given that they are about 30 years old. The recordings
were made by Larry Wilks and there is a commentary on
each with the name of almost every dog and exhibitor
(unfortunately, many of the exhibitors are no longer with
us).
I have had the recordings transferred to DVD
professionally, and there are two DVD's - one has the
very first Championship Show run by the Hungarian
Vizsla Club, judged by Angela Boys in 1986. The other
recording is of Margaret Holmes judging National Gundog
in 1985, and there is also a short clip on this DVD of the
BBC Crufts programme in 1985, showing the Gundog
Group when Gay Gottlieb was shortlisted in the group
with Russetmantle Paris."
And so - the HVC NSW has purchased a small number
of these sets of DVD's for the benefit of members. Only 6
sets are available - at a cost of $40 + p&h.
Please contact Ros if you would like purchase this
valuable archival footage.
Welcome to the Club!
We hope you will be able to come to our shows or
functions or that you may wish to contribute to the club
or newsletter. Some of you have already enjoyed a taste
of our picnics - we hope you enjoyed the fun of multi
Vizsla energy! Please feel free to contact your committee
if they can be of any help, or if you have any questions.
Remember your breeder and your club are here to help
and give advice or, more often, simple reassurance!

Dear Ros,
It is with sadness that I inform you of the passing of
Aust Champion Vizamy Garnett, "Oscar", aged 14 years.
Oscar was more than just a pet, he was a much loved

Yours sincerely, Juha Vuorinen

25TH ANNIVERSARY SHOWS
EASTER 2015 - UPDATE
Entries are coming in and we are paddling hard under the water.

Both judges have their flights organised, their accommodation is booked, transportation organised
and - they are excited! I'm sure that they'll tell you themselves after the show how they've looked forward to this opportunity to
go over Australian dogs and meet us all. The 'after show' meet and greet will be lots of fun, and we are unbelievably grateful to
Di & Tim Barnard for offering their well honed catering skills for this.
Time will be tight on the day, given the positive signs of our entry numbers, so we'll all have to be ready set go... 9am sharp start,
ready for classes and presentations and on to the afternoon after our very special Veterans Parade. Our Steward Brad Santas
will keep everyone on their toes!
The Leighton/Sargood garage has for quite some time looked like the HVC NSW warehouse, and now there is a show room
developing in the house...!  Trophies are being sorted, wrapped, labelled and organised into two lots. Rosettes are ordered
from the US, engraving is being organised, and exhibitors packs are being made up. Sponsor dog food still will need to be
collected and sorted closer to the show, plus we are just working out some final details on BIS trophies.
We will have a very very limited amount of special merchandise - there has been so little interest shown that we had to decide
not to make that financial commitment. We will have specially produced items as gifts for our judges and officials, plus the
judge's travelling companions may like some extra items. If you have a 'change of heart' about those sorts of things, contact
Ros immediately and we may be able to include some special orders...
The special anniversary catalogues, NOT included with entries, will definitely be 'collectable'. With an historical representation
of all our previous BIS winners, it will be appropriately bound and presented, so if you have not noticed it's a special order, and
would like to place an order, you have just a short time to do that - until close of entries.
All in all, we think we're all in for a great time. Just a reminder that this year there will be NO October specialty show - DogsNSW
restrict us to only two specialty championship shows per club in one year, and our normal October show has been moved to
Easter to present one special opportunity for interstaters, etc. For this year, there will also be NO obedience trial.
Note - when forwarding entries by mail, please remember that there are two separate shows, so there is a 'first entry' for each
show. (DogsNSW levies, etc).
LIMITED OPPORTUNITY: If you are interested in any items of clothing - eg t-shirt, polo shirt, fleecy vest - featuring the
commemorative 25th anniversary logo - ACT NOW! Contact Ros for information on pre-ordered options.
Hello Vizslas! I'm so excited! My mum and dad are
getting ready to drive me aaaaaaall the way from
WA to visit my family and friends at the HVCNSW
25 th Anniversary Show. I can't wait to meet you all!
We are following the coast from Perth through SA
and Victoria to NSW. I would love to hear about
your favourite spots for me to explore and camp
along the way, especially around water. I like to
do all the usual things that Vizslas like to do but I
really really love to swim!
So if you know any fun places my mum and dad
can take me to play, eat or sleep, could you please
let me know...

&RE-HOME UPDATE
RESCUE
Buckley
We were given a heads up about a Vizsla who had been
surrendered to a shelter on the Gold Coast, and we immediately
made contact and offered our support in finding him a new home.
Not all shelters will work co-operatively with breed rescue groups,
but fortunately this was not the case on this occasion, and within
24 hours 8 year old Buckley was purchased and collected on
our behalf by Donna who met Laura half way to save her some
driving. He fitted in amazingly well with Laura's dogs, and was
charming with her children. What a good boy!
He did develop the 'usual' cough
that the shelter rescues so often get,
sometimes it's a full blown kennel cough,
sometimes it can just be a response to
their intranasal vaccine. He got over this
quickly with some antibiotics from the
vet, and was booked in for some 'tune up
work'. It's always our aim to ensure that
the senior dogs go to new homes in the
best possible shape, so he had his teeth
cleaned, and some lesions that had the
potential to become troublesome were
removed.
Buckley has gone to live with Vivien & Glen, who are members,
and who heard about him via a post on a Facebook page. They
have been waiting for an appropriate rehome for a little while to
keep Miss Tisza on her toes.  They live not too far from Laura
and it was an easy relocation for Buckley to a new home that was
a very good fit.
≠
Costs for Buckley
Purchase from AWL
$150
Veterinary costs for cough, etc
$192
Veterinary costs for lesions, dental check/clean, etc
$822.92
Total$1164.92
It's clear to see that even with a dog in good condition, vet checks
to ensure his immediate health before going to a new home are
costly. We are grateful for the generous donations received in
support of our welfare programme, so that, though we are always
considered and responsible in assessing the real needs of these
dogs, we don't need to ignore issues that can be sorted out.
Thank you.
Taz
We had a call from Jenny who adopted Kislany, to say that there
was a 'free to good home' 10 year old female in the Nowra area,
and she was concerned that perhaps she might be inappropriately
placed. Jenny loves Larni, and she has fitted in so well - she's
enjoying having a Vizsla around the house again.
So - she went to meet Taz, to see if she could fit in too. First day
brought the following message -
Hi Ros,
just wanted to let you know that I picked Taz up yesterday & oh,
what a beautiful girl. So far she & Larni are getting along fine wary of each other but that is all.
She is in lovely condition & really looks much younger than ten,
not a grey hair on her body but again like Larni, very long toenails
which I will need to work on. One day I would like to bring them
along to one of your 'picnics' but I don't know how they would go
off lead once out in the open.
Thankyou, Jenny.
Thank YOU Jenny - for giving these old girls somewhere to enjoy
their lives. I hope it's a good fit for you and the girls.
Oszkar
This 2½ year old neutered male
had been rehomed by Jean and
her daughter about a year earlier.
However, Jean's daughter has been transferred overseas, Jean
was waiting for joint replacement surgery and she and her
husband were unable to provide Oszkar with what he needed.
There is of course a month's trial period to ensure that it all works
out as expected, but we feel pretty certain that Buckley has found
a new family that love him for the rest of his life.
Our thanks to all those members who donate to our welfare funds it means we don't have to think about whether or not we have
adequate funds to help dogs like Buckley when the need arises.
There are always some expenses associated with rescue dogs VIZSLA VIEWS | JAN | FEB 15
We put Vernon & Mary in touch. They are committed dog owners
with close family who have also adopted an older Vizsla. It was a
bit complicated in the end as Jean had a nasty fall and broke her
leg, so the changeover happened in a bit of a rush.
However, Oszkar has fitted in and is happily enjoying his third
home, where he seems certain to stay.

RESCUE & RE-HOME UPDATE continued...
Asha
Asha's original owner was unable to cope with her at an early
age, having underestimated the needs of a busy Vizsla with a
young family, and some changes to their lives.
She was rehomed to Susan & Pat, where she fitted in very well.
At the end of last year they went along to the north coast Vizsla
get together, but sent a photo of Asha having some rest time in
winter from her 'job' 
Good girl Asha! I'm sure you've got the neighbourhood covered!
Koda is now with Susan for the remainder of his life. Gatsby is so
excited he can barely contain himself. So, sometimes it's not the
'perfect' ending, but it's still a very good one.
And finally -
Thanks Ros
All went well A few tears from Hilary and the girls. Koda keeps
looking to the last direction he saw them leave, though he seems
very happy, well behaved. Coming when called makes it possible
for him to be off lead here in North Sydney parks.
He learnt to use the doggy door on Day 1, but I am yet to get him
to use our back yard to toilet. He only goes in the park but I am
sure he will come around
He really is a sweet dog. A little reserved but getting more
affectionate every day.Gatsby is happy, he may even have an extra
spring in his step
Thank you for all your help I think your tips on handover worked
very well.I’ll let you know how he is going in 3 months or so
Best wishes
Sue
Lilly
Koda
Koda's owner contacted us hoping to find a 'temporary' home for
him, for an indefinite time or around 12 months while they were
travelling. This is a very difficult thing to negotiate successfully. To
have someone care for your dog as you would usually means that
they have to love it as you would. To do this with a dog that is in
your life for only a brief period is difficult...
We put Hilary in touch with Susan - her second Vizsla, Gatsby, is
now getting on in years, and she wanted another dog but couldn't
consider a puppy. She also couldn't consider a 'temporary
resident' with the uncertainty of time and then returning him to
someone, but we put her in touch with Hilary to see how it went.
In the end, Hilary decided she'd rather Koda went to Susan for
the rest of his life than to risk a less caring home.
Hi Ros
A quick email on progress with Koda We have done a lot of walks
together and Koda had a weekend sleep over. This was a good
way of introducing him and helping Hilary accept us as a good
home
All went very well, he was comfortable with our house and came
when called etc He was even a little affectionate.
He greeted Gatsby like a long lost friend on our last walk
together with Hilary He is quite reserved for a Vizsla I am looking forward to him
moving in at the end of January or early February. Thanks again
for your help, I’ll update after he settles in
Regards
Sue
After a couple of months of meeting for walks with both dogs,
sleep overs for Koda and some careful and lengthy consideration,
10
We are concerned sometimes to see the dogs that are listed by
some welfare groups as 'Hungarian Vizsla' or Vizsla cross. We
think it is a way in which to try to overcome the poor public image
of some of the brown nosed bull breeds, and we completely
understand that need. However, mostly we see that there is no
way the dog is a Vizsla, nor probably even a Vizsla cross.
Tom sent us a request to rehome his 'Wizzla' after being referred
to us.
Hello !
My name is Tom and got your email
address from xxx and she said that you
might be interested or can help me find a
new home for Lilly a Hungarian Wizzl. She
is ab a year and a half Very cute and nice
temper We got her from the Rspca She is
desexed and microchipped / heres s puc of
her with our other dog Jac They have or
are very good together ;/) Lilly to the left !
Tom
It may not be clear in this reduced version of the photo, but
Lily is clearly of Staffie origins and unfortunately, we were not
in a position to help Tom, but we did suggest he go back to the
RSPCA branch where they purchased her in the hope that they
would stand by the dogs they have sold.
Equally, sometimes we get rude and unnecessarily nasty emails
from people, firstly asking for a rehome, then responding abusively
when we say we don't normally rehome mixed breeds. Makes us
all the more grateful for the fact that the vast majority of people
are easy to deal with! In fact, we do sometimes manage to help
Vizsla crosses, as in the next story.

RESCUE &
RE-HOME UPDATE

CARMEN ADAMEK

There are lots of 'unusual' requests related to rehoming Vizslas.
At the end of last year, Lois had a call from a very caring owner of
a Vizsla x Ridgeback. She explained that we don't really have the
'resources' to accommodate cross breeds, (see the next story),
but she did mention the dog to me, saying it sounded like a really
nice dog.
It's almost impossible to believe that the very same night, a
person in Queensland posted that they were looking for an older
Vizsla, to get along with their current senior dog - who is a Vizsla
x Ridgeback !! (though Sarah consistently referred to Jake as a
'Vizsla'  )
The coincidence was spooky!! So, I contacted them and said......
All we did was put the two parties in touch with each other to talk
about the possibilities. No prizes for guessing what happened. 
Of course the planets all lined up and it's a great outcome.
Vanessa flew up to Queensland from Melbourne to meet Sarah
and her family, and took Red with her. She did book a return flight
for Red, just in case it didn't work out as planned.
We had this update from Sarah a little later:
Hi Ros
It has all worked out
really well and Red has fit
into our family beautifully.
She has bonded really well
with our eldest Nathan
and our old darling Vizsla
Jake plays with her when
he wants to.
Red has definitely found
her forever home with us.
I have attached a couple of photos of her. She looks more
Ridgeback than Jake but she is the sweetest little girl we could
every wish for.
Thanks for pairing us up with Vanessa.
Regards
Sarah
Carmen's bright light shone on Lois and I when she
adopted 6 year old Zippy in December, 2013; a boy from
Victoria that Lois heard about. He'd been tied up to a
fence and when he escaped, his owners decided they
didn't really want him anyway. When Lois told me about
him, I'd recently heard from the bright bubbly Carmen,
whose good friends Carol & Paul had Roger the rehomed
Vizsla, with whom Carmen had fallen hopelessly in love.
But even that love didn't match the immediate special
bond she had with Zippy when he went to her. Her
story of collecting Zippy in 'Pearl the Peugeot' was a joy.
And Zippy loved her right back - the photo says it all.
Carmen had a battle
to fight with cancer,
and I'm saddened to
say that she lost that
battle this month.
Zippy has been with
Carol, Paul & Roger
since Carmen was
taken to hospital.
He has fitted in - he
and Roger are like
old mates, and Zippy
will live out his life
with them. Thank you
Carol & Paul.
Farewell Carmen.

REGISTRATION ROUND-UP 2013
For 2013, we have information on 69 Hungarian Vizsla litters (463 pups) having been registered by 37 breeders. Three were
bred by first-time breeders. The most litters whelped in the calendar year by one prefix was 10. In comparison, in 2012 there
were 76 registered litters (562 pups) produced by 43 breeders. Thirty dams whelped their first litter in 2013. One damwhelped
twice within the calendar year. One dam whelped her seventh, and two others their fifth litters. The youngest dam was 1 year
7 months of age when her litter was whelped. The eldest dam was a couple of weeks shy of her eighth birthday.
There were 44 different sires used in 2013; 11 of which sired their first litter. Seven dogs sired three or more litters, with the
most frequently used sire in 2013 producing seven litters in the calendar year. One dog sired their 20th litter. The youngest sire
wasjust under 1 year 5 months of age.
Of the 69 litters 14 were repeat matings,with two being the fourth time a particular mating had been done, and one being the
seventh time.
In the past 5 years, 2356 Hungarian Vizsla pups have been registered in 341 litters. 115 different sires and 197 different dams
have been used. One dog sired 19 litters (149 pups) in this time, with four other dogs siring ten or more litters. The seven most
frequently used sires produced 24.6% of all Vizsla pups registered from 2009-2013.
The use of the sires is not necessarily wide-spread. For example, one dog siring 10 litters in the 5 years was used over four
different dams, the others being repeat matings (eg one bitch whelping 5 litters to him). Another sire although used for 14 litters
was only used by one breeder. See the table for further details.

In the five years 2009-2013, one dam has whelped five litters (whelping seven litters in total), and 12 other dams produced four
litters each. The dam that whelped five times in five years was always bred to the same sire (neither sire nor dam are titled).
On the following page is a table showing registered litters born in 2013, together with the litters produced in the past five years.

An excellent article from the founder of 4
Paws University in Sacramento, Lisa Mullinax
(www.4pawsu.com)
BONE TO PICK: Dominance is one word that I really, really, really
would like to remove from the dog owner's vocabulary.
Let me start by saying that what people think is dominance
almost never is. In fact, out of the over 4,000 dogs that I have
worked with in group classes and private lessons over the last
15 years, I have never seen a behavior that didn't have a more
reasonable explanation than a quest for total domination.
Aggression and dominance are not the same thing. They do
not have the same meaning. Just because a dog has exhibited
aggression does not mean it has anything to do with dominance.
Fear. Frustration. Incomplete training. Learning history.
The causes of every behavior problem I see. And, before your reply to this post with, "But you don't work with aggressive dogs,"
know that my practice is limited to fear and aggression. That's all I work with these days. Still, no dominance to be found.
Fear. Frustration. Incomplete training. Learning history.
Take a look at any behavior that you might consider to be dominance and then ask if any of those explanations might make
more sense.
• The dog at the dog park who growls at other dogs. Fear, not dominance.
• The dog who doesn't "listen" when called. Incomplete training and learning history, not dominance.
• The dog who snaps at the vet. Fear and learning history, not dominance.
• The dog who lunges and barks at other dogs on-leash, but plays well with dogs in the dog park. Frustration and
incomplete leash training, not dominance.
• The dog who bolts out the front door and leads his family on a 45 minute chase through the neighborhood. Incomplete
training and learning history, not dominance.
I'm not dismissing the scientific concept of dominance entirely. However, it is very complex, with multiple definitions depending
on who is defining it and what they apply it to. And if it comes from the mouth of a trainer using dominance to justify a particular
training method or equipment, the definition is not even close to accurate and they're missing the signs of fear, frustration, or
the fact that something has gone wrong in the training process.
The most simplified and scientifically-accurate definition, as presented by Patricia McConnell, PhD, is "priority access to preferred
resources." That's basically what it's about. Who gets first dibs.
Now, who, with their bigger brain and opposable thumbs, has first dibs on things the dog wants, the dog or the human? Hint:
Dogs don't have thumbs. That means, by a stroke of evolutionary luck, you already have priority access to everything, since your
dog can't get food, water, toys, etc., without your thumbs...not to mention your debit card.
You're ALREADY dominant. No need to jerk, roll, hang, poke, pinch, or shock the dog, just use those preferred resources wisely
in exchange for good behavior (see prior post on Premack Principle).
Dogs don't get to choose where they live or who they live with. They don't get to choose where they walk or even if they get
outside for walks. They don't get to choose what you feed them or when. They don't get to choose whether or not you take them
to the dog park or the beach. They don't get to choose what vet they see or what medical treatment they receive. They don't
get to choose whether or not they accompany you on vacation or where they get boarded. They don't get to choose whether
they live with you for the rest of their lives or get returned to the shelter.
Their safety and survival is subject to our every whim.
And we're obsessed with whether or not we're dominant???
Instead of worrying about whether your dog IS dominant, is BEING dominant, or THINKS he's dominant, focus on what your dog
DOES. She growls at people who reach for her rawhide. She jumps on the counter when you're preparing food.
Now, rather than try to punish out a dog's thoughts (a'la Harrison Bergeron - great short story, BTW), we can focus on teaching
our dogs what we want them to do. That's where a training or behavior modification plan comes in.
Dominance is just not a useful concept. It relies on assumptions about what a dog is thinking. You're never going to know what
your dog is thinking (at least not until they invent the collars from "Up"...Squirrel!).
Frankly, I'm not concerned with what a dog is thinking, I'm concerned with what they're doing. And, when they are relaxed and
lying on a mat and looking at me in anticipation of something good instead of growling and lunging at visitors, I've already solved
the problem without trying to read their thoughts.

DOMINANCE continued...
And, yes, that includes feral Malipits from working lines who were born under a full moon on Leap Year. Or Pit Bulls, Rottweilers,
and any other breed that anyone might want to claim have super special different brains and learn differently from every other
species on the planet.
Don't just take my word on the issue of dominance, here's information from people who study the behavior of dogs and wolves
for a living:
http://img2.timg.co.il/forums/1_139885255.pdf
http://behavior.vetmed.ucdavis.edu/…/AVSAB_Dominance_Statem…
http://4pawsu.com/alphawolf.pdf
BUTS
"But, what about dogs in the same household who fight? Isn't THAT dominance???" Again, that requires us to make assumptions
about what the dogs are thinking, to assume that they are fighting for status in a hierarchy of their imagination.
Usually, it's a complex combination of access to resources (including access to owner, sleeping areas, toys, bones, etc.) AND
learning history. In other words, once fights start to happen, the dogs are living under a heightened level of stress and overly
defensive, especially in situations or locations where fights happened before.
This article accurately describes "status-related aggression." However, notice that the reference is is a small paragraph, not the
basis of the entire article. Because there are many other reasons that dogs in the same household may begin to fight.

Carmen and Zippy's story is a moving one, and we weren't surprised that it hit a spot with members.
We had this lovely note from Julia before Christmas.
Hi Ros,
I always jump to the “Rescue” stories first, and this month the story on Zippy & Carmen really touched me. There are some
incredible people out there, and Carol & Paul qualify, and Carmen qualifies. If you in contact with them again, please let
them know that whilst “thinking of you” is probably a useless thing, when a casserole, hug or plate of shortbreads would
be more useful, it’s all I can offer as a) I don’t know them, and b) I live far away! I will be hoping the best possible for them
all for the future, all things considered.
And best wishes for a happy & successful 2015 to you & yours.
Julia
We have some newsletter 'share' arrangements with other Vizsla
clubs, both here and internationally. It's nice to hear how some of
those get shared around - this nice note from Stephanie Fischer, of
the Vizsla Club of Long Island in the US. (Southside was a volume
breeder situation where many dogs including a large number of Vizslas
were rescued by authorities from appalling conditions. The VCLI were
involved in this situation and the stories were overwhelming).
Hi Ros,
MaryK always shares your newsletters with me, as I am a big fan. Thank
you for all the work you do to produce a fine newsletter. Your cover this
year was great, and it was nice to see all your champions. Takes a bit
of getting used to with the long tails. I am a head person, and there
were quite a few nice ones. Below are my 3. Cliffy is my champion and
Westminster entrant. L-R Cliffy 13 Jake 8 Molly 6 (Southside Rescue)
Happy Holidays,
Stephanie
We were saddened to hear that Patsy & George had lost Scout, she was a lovely host when we had our tracking workshops
at their property in Crookwell.
Hi Ros,
I have to let you know that Scout had to be put to sleep shortly after her 15th birthday in November. Of course I miss her
very much. I still have a cross bred border collie rescue dog. Billy is 5 years old (they think) and has had a few owners
before a friend of mine took him from Canberra Rescue. She is 85 and has arthritis in her hands so I had been exercising
him with Scout for some time. She had to move into an aged care unit so I have taken him. As he has had some owners,
none of whom had trained him to do anything, he is quite a challenge. He is just the opposite to Scout. My son comes up
from Sydney a couple of days a week to help us with the sheep and when he arrives with his border collie I lose her for a
few days as he and his truck immediately become the leader and I am relegated much lower down the pack. This makes
training a little harder. We have just attended an 8 day obedience course at the local vets. It was a lot of fun. Things have
changed a bit in training over the last 10 years. Billy graduated on the Thursday before Christmas. He did a beautiful recall
but his on-lead work still need some more training. My New Year’s resolution is to take him to town every day to walk on
lead to get him used to so many distractions.
I must thank you for the coat that I bought for Scout. She wore it every night and some days from the day I got it. She
would bark at me every night after her dinner and had to have it on. It was lovely and comfortable and fitted her so well.
Hope you and your dogs had a Merry Christmas and have a very Happy New Year
All the best to You and Wayne, Lily and Nina. Love seeing photos of them in the Vizsla News.
From Patsy

And of course - Vizslas always make the most of summer and Christmas...
Certainly Suki has in the way that puppies do!
Sailor got all she wanted from Santa and more!
Those Hurtta cool coats were well received.
They need a bit of getting used to apparently. We were out
on a hot day, waiting for Nina to be finished at the Sydney
specialist vet. We stopped for lunch at a Pittwater cafe,
where Lily can sit at our table. She was panting and so we
got the coat from the car, wet it and put it on her. Her face
change almost immediately from some heavy panting to
VERY tightly pursed lips and an expression that said 'there
is WATER dripping near my feet!!'
We discovered that look goes away if you take the coat off
and wait for the dripping to stop.. and it's a very cool coat.
And Zoltan & Dolly kept cool in their new coats!

Our very special calendar gets rave reviews each year. Here are just a couple for the 2015 calendar:
Hi Ros,
Hi Ros,
Just letting you know, arrived home
tonight and the calendar has arrived!
It's fabulous and my husband and I are
thrilled with it.
I absolutely LOOOOOOVE the 2015 calendar! It is FANTASTIC! Thank
you so much to you, Sissi and the team for all your hard work. Have a
wonderful christmas and new year.
Julie
All the Very best of life to You, your human family and Nina and Lily.
Bern
Time for those calendar photos! You need to send in your favourite photos of your Vizsla for inclusion in next year's
(2016) Hungarian Vizsla Club of NSW Calendar - the very best Vizsla calendar in the World!! Sissi & Jamie need
plenty of time to weave their magic and give us a fabulous fund raiser again!
C'mon - send them in to Ros and she'll pass them on. All photos need to be submitted by July 31st so...
get snapping!
