| Intl. and Am. CH. Aristo's King Vino Gift of The Vine, C.D., CGC |
| CH. DryCreek's Jester of Aristo, CD x CH. Criodain's Brenna of Aristo, C.G.C. |
| Vino was born here May 2, 2008, and you can see his baby pictures as the pup with the Green ric rac on his mother's page (Brenna). We are so glad to have Vino with his attentive, happy attitude, and his strong desire to please. At 13 months old, Vino passed his Canine Good Citizen test. Then, at 17 months old, he earned his AKC Championship with 4 majors, 4 Bests of Breed from the classes, and a Bred-By-Exhibitor Group 4. Next we competed in Obedience, and he achieved his C.D. in 3 straight Trials. His International Champion title was won with flare, and currently we are back in the AKC show ring going for his Grand Championship. This is FUN!!! Vino is growing up to be a very lovable, smart, and loyal dog. We are lucky to have him as part of our family. |

| Playdate!!! Vino gets together with 2 of his littermates 1 month after they had gone to their new homes. Left to Right: Suzie, Brenna, Vino, Leah, Teagan, Jester. These dogs are so much fun! Until you have been "owned" by a Vizsla, you really have not experienced pure fun, loyalty, or unconditional affection. |

| Vino's brother, Sawyer, and his fabulous Owner-Handler, Aimee, came to visit in February, 2009. Above you can see these two handsome fellows looking dashing. And yes, my friends, that is I in the awful red hair...this situation is being corrected. |
| Shows as a Puppy Vino has won more, in less time, than any other dog I've ever owned. We are so proud of our young boy. Thank you, Jester and Brenna, for this GIFT. |
| In between shows, Vino enjoys time in the field. Coming or going, it's always a good view! |

| Extra-Nice wins!!! Vino and his brother Sawyer (Aristo's Sawyer Gonna Love Me) competed in the Vizsla Club of Northern California's Specialty, June, 2009, and Sawyer won Winners Dog and Best of Winners for a 5 point major!!! The day before, Sawyer won Winners Dog for another 5 point major, and Vino took Reserve Winners Dog to his brother-talk about a worthwhile weekend! |
| Vino and Sawyer age 13 months. |
| Vino wins 3 out of the 4 days the weekend after the Specialty in 2009, including two Best of Breeds from the classes, and getting pulled in Groups. What a thrill for a young dog who is breeder/owner/handled! |

| After Vino finished his show Championship, we started Obedience training, and he achieved his C.D. (Companion Dog title) in three straight trials. (April 2010). |

| Vino shows off at home, June 2010. HHhmmm, seems I'm having trouble with the lighting, huh? |
| Sawyer, on the left, is darker and more muscular than Vino, on the right. Genetics are amazing! |
| Vino is such a mild-mannered sort of guy that he just held this stack forever for the photographer. |
| Good Puppy! |
| Along the road to getting his Grand Championship... |
| Vino wins Select Dog AND the Award of Merit both days in Santa Rosa. (In shows with a large number of entries in your breed, they may offer an Award of Merit=lots of competition!) |
| That's my Vino! And, yes, he is always Breeder/Owner/Handled. |
| Vino is filling into his adult body, and our friend, Carolyn Royal, caught these pictures of him in April 2011. Big man on campus, huh?! |

| Due to the arrival of Brenna's puppies in Spring 2011, I only managed to get Vino to one show during the first half of 2011...and yippee-he won, defeating a few of this country's Top Ten dogs! This weekend was the worst wind and rain and mud I have seen in a very long time. It was nice to see the staff, exhibitors, and dogs being good sports, and putting up with on-the-fly changes, such as showing in the street to avoid the mud. |
| Vino wins another major toward his Grand Champion during his first weekend out at the shows after being home for many months with the little puppies in 2011. He plays so well with his young brothers and sisters, we are lucky to have an adult male Vizsla to set a good example of behavior for the little ones. |
