As excerpted by Mel Reveles of FUSION VIZSLAS:

JUNE-AUGUST 2009

In June of 2009 breeder/co-owner Judy showed Trip at the Buckhorn Valley Kennel Club, Inc. (BVKC) Dog Show in Loveland, Colorado. Trip took WB and Best of Winners both days but even more impressive were her Best Bred-By (breed) and Best Bred-By Exhibitor Group 1 (12 dogs in the Group) wins!! Trip was handled by Judy.

Trip�s next big adventure was showing in the Texas Gulf Coast Specialty in July 2009. In a tough entry, she took Winners Bitch for a major out of the Bred-By Exhibitor class and went Best Bred-By in Specialty Show under breeder/judge Kathy Rust. Trip was co-breeder/owner handled by Mel. Mel showed their other girl Amante (CH Boulder's Bolder Amante JH) Friday and she took Winners Bitch for the major. The win put Amante at 12 points toward her conformation championship (CH) title. Mel showed "Lil� Pumpkin" Trip, again on Saturday. Trip took the major from the Bred-By Exhibitor class then went on to take Best of Winners. These girls were HOT (hee hee, pun intended--it really was hot and humid in Houston in July)!

While breeder Judy Hetkowski of Boulder Vizslas wasn't ringside (she was in NY for her daughter's wedding), it's because of her hard work and mentoring that these wins were even possible. From the many hours of pouring over pedigrees and pictures to plan the breedings that produced these gorgeous girls to the caring and training, there is no doubt Judy is a top-notch Vizsla breeder. When the girls were just pups, Judy started teaching them how to free stack, to be hand-stacked, how to move on a loose lead, and worked with Mel to be a decent handler.

In August of 2009, we took the crew to a bonanza field event chock-full of hunting tests and field trials in Montana. Go to our "One Weekend + 4 Vizslas = NEW AKC MASTER HUNTER (Kosmo), 1^st Place Open Derby Win (all pointing breed) for 2 points (Trip), 4 More Master Hunter Passes (3 for Suede, 1 for Remus), Back-to-Back 3rd Placements in Open Gun Dog Major Retrieving Stakes (Remus)." Whew!! page to read about how well the Vizsla bird dogs did. :-)

It was this field trial run that Trip showed us she�s got what it takes to compete in AKC walking field trials (the only trialing game we play). She was the only Vizsla entered in the walking field trial Open Derby stakes. She ran BIG, hunted with intelligence, pointed oh-so-stylishly, and handled as the 'green-broke' dog we know she is. During her run she honored her bracemate (on her own without a "whoa" command from Mel) and stood steady when he took out her pointed bird (her 4^th find of the brace). The judges loved her performance enough to award her the 1^st placement BLUE for 2 points toward her Field Championship (FC) title!!
