great start!
In the
picture where 2 are wet & still have their stripes they are
only minutes old. When they dry from the amniotic fluid and the dam's
constant licking for about 15 minutes to clean them up and get the
lungs working and the blood flowing, then the stripes disappear. They
sense by smell where the teats are and go straight to them. As they
grow the dam rolls further on her side to expose both rows of teats.
Until then they burrow in if the uppers are taken, sometimes upside
down to make drawing down easier.
I still get teary at the magic of nature even after dozens of litters.
- Barrie

On the next 3 tests they performed well. Sunday was almost dry but with a cold wind. Congratulations to both!
Cindy Brewster reports from Washington State that Rez gained 2 legs on his Senior Hunter title. It is more difficult in the US as you must obtain 4 legs (instead of our 3) and you are braced with another dog and handler at all 3 levels, rather than just the 3rd level of FDX here. Good hunting Rez!

It was pretty hot out (28ish) but that didnt slow Loki down at all --- this dog can hunt! Apparently it's the 1st time a Vizsla has placed in a field trial in Alberta in a long time. The rest of the competition was Brittany Spaniels and one Weimaraner.
Here is a picture of the judges Jayne Coneybeare and Harvey Linville with Lori and Loki.
Congratulations to Loki and Lori!!
On Aug 8 '06, the hottest day of the year, Loki ran his first two legs in Field Dog Tests in Calgary and earned the fantastic score of 90/100 and in the even more excessive heat of the afternoon had an 85/100! What great team work from these two for their first experience!!
Loki (Piroska Toldin's Sentry NAVHDA NA Prize II) is a Pele x Toldi youngster born April 1 '05 and is owned by Lori and Ben Vickerman, co-owned by Frank and Martha Lacko and us. He is trained and handled by Lori. Way to go!!!
