Why are we breeding?

We aren't professional breeders.  We don’t raise dogs as a business and we haven’t had the time or inclination to pursue field trialing. 

We like to run two dogs in the field, and to give the old pointer some credit, I suspect our Vizsla learned some of what she does by watching and working with our old English Pointer in the field during her first 2 hunting seasons (the pointer has been in a retirement home for the last few years – our eldest son’s house).  We are so pleased with Red that we want a puppy of hers to raise up as our second field dog, and carry on the line when Red is too old to hunt anymore.

We value a really good dog and took care in finding a stud dog for Red that came highly regarded and with qualities that would complement hers and produce puppies that are of benefit not only to us but to the breed in general.
