Welcome to vizamy.com. This website is dedicated to two great interests: my dogs and dog agility. I have Hungarian Vizslas and a Working Kelpie and there will be a bit about each.
I have great fun with my lovely Vizsla girls. Besides making wonderful companions, they have also accompanied me in showing, obedience trialing, agility trialing, dog endurance, a little tracking, some gundog work, and many other activities.
I very occasionally breed a litter of Hungarian Vizsla pups. My prefix is Vizamy. My aim is to breed Vizslas that are healthy, well conformed, athletic, intelligent, trainable, and with stable and people-loving characters. Don't want much, do I? This is the sort of Vizsla I need for the things I do with them and it makes for a super companion.
I currently have two girls, Shaula and Cedar. Cedar is Shaula's daughter and is my current breeding bitch. Shaula is the daughter of my first girl, Amy, whom I bought from Faye Harris of Hanafor. Amy died in 2005 at the age of 12, but her name is remembered in my prefix, which is an amalgam of Viz(sla) and Amy.
On the Vizsla pages is some information about the breed and about my own dogs. Currently the link leads to version 2 of the Vizamy Vizsla website - version three is underway.

I have one working Kelpie, bred under the Avenpart prefix. She is a cream Kelpie, which is not an unusual colour, but not common either. Her name is Avenpart Xeria, better known as Xia (pronounced Zee-a). She was one of an "X" litter. I bought her mainly to have the experience of running a rocket dog in agility - but I enjoy her for a whole lot more than that.

Agility is a great interest of mine. I've probably spent more money (not to mention time) than I really want to know about over the years on seminars, equipment, entries, and so on. But I think it's paying off. I've learned a lot since I started.

I've also learned quite a lot about dog traning that is not specifically related to agility, having attended seminars of widely ranging sorts, from clicker training to "drive" training to search and rescue. And more.
