Vino
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 laid-back, 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 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.  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.
See more show photos at the bottom of this page.

Playdate!!!

they had gone to their new homes.

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!

Best of Winners for a 5 point major!!!  The day before,

worthwhile weekend!
