Hungarian Vizsla Club

A very welcoming and well run show with a friendly atmosphere. A huge thanks to my two stewards Debbie and George who kept everything running smoothly. We need to bear in mind that the Hungarian Vizsla should be medium sized with medium bone, he needs to be balanced, elegant but also sturdy. A few exhibits, although well constructed, were big. For me the biggest issue today was movement, exhibits who looked promising when stacked let themselves down on the move, some who didn’t catch my eye at first due to not being stacked so well excelled on the move.

Baby Puppy Dog. (2,1 Abs) 1st Creighton’s Oakswarren Mischief Maker, a super 5 month old puppy enjoying his day, excellent bone, head of good proportions, gentle expression, well laid shoulders with plenty of depth to chest and good forechest, legs straight, good feet, ribs well sprung, good turn of stifle, straight hocks. Moved out well for one so young, he must surely have a bright future. Best Baby Puppy in Show.
