Don Hogan and Dodge from Kentucky

Dodge is out of FC Onpoint Raany Daze and FC/AFC Si Cisco

Dodge( Deuce's Step to Side)  earned his SHR (Started Hunting Retriever) Title at Central Kentucky Hunting Retriever Club's fall Hunt Test in Richmond, Kentucky.

One of the land tests was extremely challenging for this level and nearly a fourth of the dogs (all labs and goldens) were unable to locate the downed bird. The judges were so impressed with the way Dodge quartered to find the Mark and made comment that his retrieve was the best of all the dogs in that specific event.

The second day of the Test was conducted in an absolute downpour but it made little difference as Dodge absolutely nailed both the water and land portions, the water being an extremely long swim to the Mark.

To say the least I am extremely proud of him. I have been recovering from surgery to my ankle all summer and have not been but barely able to train with Dodge leading up to this event. I knew he could do it, and took it on faith that he'd know what to do...

I've received the HRC magazine for several years and have never seen a vizsla listed as receiving a Title. I am going to write and see if Dodge may be the first (surely he isn't...)

 The following came May 4th from John Bacik in Strongsville, Ohio with news about his dog Bailey out Si Cisco and Langenfeld's Little Lucy.

This past weekend, the NSTRA Ohio Region Elimination was held, in Wooster Ohio, with 56 dogs entered. It was comprised of past champions & placement dogs from the past year from the Ohio region. There were 21 GSP's, 15 ES's, 13 EP's, 5 GWH's, 1 Britt & 1 Vizsla entered.
 
Bailey made the cut on Saturday, by matching a 3x NSTRA champion setter. The other handler said it was the best Vizsla he'd ever seen (apparently NSTRA doesn't see too many). The judge liked him also, commenting that on one of his finds "that was the best he'd seen all day".
 
On Sunday they ran 32 dogs in 2 fields & we drew the last brace in "A" field. By the time we ran, the gallery of 20 had dispersed, & only the Field Marshal & the handler I ran against on Saturday, were watching. Bailey shot out & we had 3 finds & 3 retrieves in the first 5 minutes. We ended with 5 finds & 5 retrieves for a 985.75 score. The next best dog, in "A" field, had a 3 & 3 (we smoked em!). Bailey was the "A" field winner. It also put Bailey in the top 6 for the weekend & into the next round.
 
There was a break after our brace, so I went into the clubhouse for lunch. There was a buzz going around about our run. All I could hear was Vizsla this & Vizsla that. It was the judges, the Field Marshal, & the two handlers I ran against the last 2 runs describing our run. Wow, Its' like they never saw a Vizsla before. (Of course, we were the only one in the trial) The region president told me we made history, as no other Vizsla had made it into the top 6 before in the Ohio region. 
 
Next was 3 braces, with the top 6 dogs. We ran in the last brace, & had a 3 & 3 run for a 623 score. Our brace mate had a 3 & 2 + a back & beat us by only18 points (they had a find in the final minute of the run). We ended up in third place. A few more points & we would have been in the hour long run off for first place. Our brace mate went into the finals & won it.
 
All this, & we had only ran in 2 braces (placing in one of them) for the entire year leading up to this trial. My work was non-existent, so I had put NSTRA on the back burner. Hopefully, things will pick up & I'll be able to run in more next year.
 
I received a nice trophy, a 4 bags of Pro-Plan, & will receive silver engraved belt buckle. Needless to say, I'm very proud!

Don't you just love Bailey, the brown dog in the middle!
