| My 2 cents on breeding in general... The point of breeding dogs, in my humble opinion, is to bring healthy companions into the world so that humans' lives can be enriched and more enjoyable. We all know that there is a pet overpopulation problem, so I breed VERY selectively, and not often (5 litters since 1985). I feel a tremendous responsibility to the puppy, and I am here for the entire lifetime of any dog I produce for support, guidance, and re-homing if necessary. Since I have a passion for conformation, I breed for excellence in the show ring, AND, since a Vizsla is not a Vizsla if it doesn't love to hunt and to please his master, I breed for those qualities as well. Please feel free to inquire about more details on anything from pedigrees to health guarantees and temperament testing. The Vizsla Club of America condemns the breeding of dogs who show any of the following: hip dysplasia, epilepsy, Progressive Retinal Atrophy (PRA), entropion, Von Willebrand's Disease, and cranial muscular atrophy. We follow these ethical guidelines, and in addition, we test for other eye and thyroid problems, and do our best to avoid cancer which is far too common. I am constantly researching the latest health information, and all of my dogs' DNA has been donated to all the major research studies in the United States. I encourage other breeders to do the same. |
| Vizsla Litter 2008 Born May 2, 2008 Sire: CH. DryCreek's Jester of Aristo, C.D., "Jester" Dam: CH. Criodains' Brenna of Aristo, C.G.C., "Brenna" |
| Here are photos of Dad, Jester. Since I owned him, you can see more of him on his page elsewhere on this website. |
| Below are photos of Mom, Brenna. Since I own her, you can see more of her on Brenna's page elsewhere in this website. |
| Below are some of the pups as they have grown up with their very happy humans! |
| Mission Accomplished! Happy human and grown up puppy!!! This lovable boy is Tazmin, and below he is the pup with the yellow ric rac looking right at the camera. |

| As a youngster at my house, he was Mr. Orange, but now he is known as Sawyer. Isn't it interesting to see the "before" and "after" stacked photos? Sawyer was the first puppy to finish his Championship from this litter, with 4 majors...two 5-point majors and two 3-point majors!!!!! To say the least, I am unbelievably proud of him and his owners. Recently he earned his International Show Championship, his Junior Hunter title, and his GRAND Championship with his owner/handler-impressed again! |
| Above Sawyer is winning a 5 point major at a Supported Entry show, defeating 21 class dogs. (His brother, Vino, went Reserve to him that day). Did I mention Sawyer also won Best of Winners the next day at the Vizsla Club of Northern California SPECIALTY??? Of course that was another 5 point major, defeating 53 class animals! Thank you, Handler Josh Hargis! OK, I just HAD to brag about that! |
| Brothers compete against each other: Vino on the left, and Sawyer on the right. |
| Here is Brenna yawning, tired of being so fat and pregnant! |
| Thankfully all 7 pups arrived safely, and Brenna is a terrific Mother. |
| Happy hanging out at home. |
| Here is Oscar, formerly known as Big Mr. Brown. He is all dressed up for President's Day 2009. You should see him at Halloween! |
| Days after this photo, tragedy struck Oscar, and he died from an accident at only 1 1/2 years old. He was ripped from the arms of his loving family far, far too soon. He and his Dad are two very special red angels in Heaven. |
| Zeke and his nephew, Tazmin, lean against each other...this is not a set-up, they are just best buddies! |

| The new Champion: Intl. and Am. Grand CH. Aristo's Sawyer Gonna Love Me, J.H. August 2009. |
| Puppy Birthday Party April 2010. The race is on in our back pasture. Here Taser the Whippet is in the lead (well, he is one of the fastest breeds). Most of the puppies were able to attend-thanks to their owners for coming all the way to Red Bluff. Above and below you can see Vino, Brenna, Suzie, Bodi, Taser, Bella, Leah, Teagan, and Sawyer. |
| New Puppy People often become good friends...that's what life for humans and dogs is all about! |
| Mom Brenna, Brother Vino, Brother Bodi. |
| Introducing Bodi! What a handsome face, he is a nice combination of both parents. He lived with us for awhile in the Spring of 2010, and it was so nice to have the brothers at home. When adult puppies visit, it gives breeders a chance to really get to know their offspring, and evaluate their breeding programs...priceless knowledge!!! |
| Below Sawyer is training for his Hunt Tests in March 2011. His owner has never done official AKC Hunting Tests before, and several people in her local Club are helping her. Proof that people who are new to an event CAN do it and succeed with their own dogs. Especially if you are lucky enough to own a Versatile Vizsla! |
| Good Boy, Sawyer!!! You can see more about Sawyer on his own blog at www.thisvizslaslife.blogspot.com. |
| SUCCESS!!! Sawyer attains his Junior Hunter title in May 2011, trained and handled by his owner in the field. Instinct, combined with kind and proper training is a beautiful thing. I am so proud of Sawyer and Aimee! |
