Lizzy and Boulder

Lizzie the Ham

This picture was taken by Barbara Yeatman, Lizzie's owner. Lizzie came to Barbara as a challenging rescue:

"Talk about not being camera shy! This is one of my very favorite pictures of this little cutie; this little one who almost "did me in" when she came to live with us. Almost more than I could handle, but now, the best little Verminator in the neighborhood. In fact, her services to do "molectomies" are in high demand!"

We'll be seeing a picture of the back end of Lizzie on one of her mole hunts in the future!

Lizzie and Boulder

Here's a shot of Lizzie and Boulder, also owned by Barbara, joining their best mental powers to charm something non-existant off the top of the refrigerator.

Vizsla Christmas Ornaments

This gorgeous ornament was hand crafted by a friend and fellow Vizsla owner and enthusist, Barbara Yeatman. Barbara may be submitting stories from time to time about her three Vizslas: Boulder, Lizzie, and the ever ornery,ever mischievous Geni.

Here is the information from the Carolina Vizsla Website:

Each ornament (appx. 4 1/2" diam) is carefully handcrafted from imported Finnish birch plywood, comes with a red ribbon for hanging on the tree and in a zippered protective bag. $15.00 ea. The artist is our own VCC Rescue Coordinator, Barbara Yeatman.

All are stamped and numbered and will be available in October 2006.

Ornaments can be shipped (continental United States) for a nominal fee of $3.00 S & H. Barbara can be contacted either through www.carolinavizsla.org or www.unfinishedbusiness.biz.

Get your order in early, support Rescue!

V in motion

For those of you who have been introduced to Vizslas through my website, I thought you might like to see a Vizsla in motion. Just look for the three commercials under the heading "Pedigree pouches." Oh, and you'll need Flash Player to watch it online.

In the first one you'll see an example of what we call "counter surfing." This is when the V (namely Ivy--we do not change the names to protect the innocent--there are no innocent dogs in our house) sneaks a bit of food off the counter lickety-split. This happened today when I was preparing a fried egg sandwich for lunch--the egg was done. . .hmm, where did I put that bread? IVY!!!


Didn't see the V snatch the food off the counter? See, that's the thing; they really are that fast. We almost NEVER see it happen. The absence of food, the guilty look, and licks tell the tale. Oh, and a 50 pound dog trying to hide in plain sight is another clue.

Under construction

I really wasn't ready to make this blog public yet, but in honor of Blog Your Dog Day, I thought I might as well sneak it out.

As this blog develops, look for articles on health and training, hunt and field, agility, competition, links and more.

I am a Vizsla enthusiast, not an expert, so I will be enlisting the help of those who compete and have been in the breed a lot longer than I have!

So, if you are interested in Vizslas, check back.

Caught on Camera

Poor Eve. Because of her cataracts, it is very hard to get a picture of her without glowing eyes. This one was just too funny, though. Jake took this snap when Tom told Eve it was time to "go to the kitchen" "Go to the kitchen" is the same as ringing the dinner bell at our house!
