    New dog introduction

    Hi there. I haven't been around in a while, but wanted to drop by and introduce Finn to the board. Finn is my second Hungarian Wirehaired Vizsla and my first male dog. He's about 2 yrs and 8 months old and is a real sweetheart. I couldn't be happier about how well he's fitting in with our crew...

    Could you please vote for Winnie??

    I would love it if any of you could take a minute to vote for Winnie in this Field and Stream gundog photo contest! Her photo is on page 11, third column from the left toward the bottom of the page. She's in there a couple more times, but I think this is the best picture of her so I'm...

    Teaching Winnie a trick - Part 1

    I've decided to use clicker training - which I'm new to - to try to teach Winnie to fetch a beer. I figured the first step was to get her to touch the beer with her nose. Here's the Part 1 video: Winnie

    Maybe my favorite Winnie picture!

    Did some bird training this morning and got lucky with two really wonderful pictures of Winnie. I like the composition of the farther away shot best, but the closer one is nice too I think.

    Winnie!

    I've been training with Winnie and we're doing some field work, including 'Whoa.' I realized that Whoa is actually a very nice photo opportunity! I like this one too, "What are you doing? He said SIT!"

    Slowly but surely (new at clicker)...

    I still find the clicker kind of difficult, but am slowly getting the hang of it. It's pretty long, but I'd like to share a blog post I wrote about our recent clicker training. I'll post an excerpt here, but I'd like to encourage anyone to feel free to leave a comment on the blog, especially if...

    Overwhelmed by clicker training for the field

    By way of introduction (I've only posted in the photos forum before now), Winnie is a Wirehaired Vizsla just over a year old. She's done basic obedience, puppy kindergarten, and I've started doing some work in the field with her, hoping to one day have a companion hunter. I'm not interested in...

    Winnie swam for the first time!

    I know she's supposed to be a water dog, but she never really liked it. But hot weather and cool water at the river we live on has piqued her curiosity more and more lately. Yesterday I decided if I went out there she might come to me, and sure enough she did! Once she got going, she really had...

    Sharing...

    Winnie adopted this chair on the front porch of our new house as her favorite. But she doesn't mind sharing it with Gromit...

    Chairs are complicated.

    How does this thing work again??

    Winnie making grooming difficult

    In ten days Winnie will be on display at the National Specialty show for Hungarian Wirehaired Vizslas. I've been trying here and there to work on her coat in preparation. Tonight she made things, um, complicated, by doing some face gardening...

    Winnie meets a horse!

    We moved into our dream house last week! Our horses on the property, plus river view and access for fishing and kayaking and dogplay! Here Winnie meets my horse, Buck. I think she wants Buck to throw the retrieving dummy for her! Winnie is VERY interested in the horses, but very friendly...

    Winnie - late day sun

    We were out in the yard enjoying the longer daylight hours and I just liked how she looked in that light. So I grabbed the camera and snapped this shot. Is it just me or is her facial hair out of control!??

    Winnie is a new UKC Champion after her first weekend!

    Winnie did everything right this weekend and earned her UKC Championship at seven months! I'm so proud of this dog I can't even express it...

    Winnie pictures

    Winnie has her first big-girl UKC show this weekend! She's been in one before but that was puppy novice. So she got her feet and ears trimmed up a bit at the groomer this weekend, then we went for a long walk and I snapped a few pics. That very stylish point unfortunately doesn't count, unless...

    looking for a simple, nice leather show lead

    I'm getting frustrated trying to find online a simple leather show lead. I think I want a slip lead. But all the places I've found just don't quite work. They either don't respond to emails, don't return phone calls, their web sites don't give you the option to choose things they say I can...

    snow video!

    Here's a video of my ridiculous dog in the snow yesterday. I threw the retrieving dummy for her once and got about ten minutes of exercise out of it! <object width="480" height="295"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/H_UjrJGz8WE&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param...
