So some bits about who I am.. My name is Lizzie and I live in California ..obviously I love hunting dogs, actually all animals..this is a rundown of who lives with me: 4 dogs 2 horses 1 brave cat, 3 tortoises and 6 chickens. Also a compromising husband and children. He works in the film and television industry in the USA.
I am a nurse, postpartum (maternity) and new-born nursery(babies), part time, which gives me time to work with the dogs and horses. I train jumpers with my 2 horses and compete in horse show events.
We have always had dogs, but about 6 years ago, we acquired our first Pointer... a Vizsla , we named Abby, and now we are hooked. Peaches joined the family 2 years ago. They both hunt upland game in season and compete in AKC events.
I have had smart dogs in my day, but not with the intelligence and grace of the Hungarian Vizsla. While I personally, have difficulties with the concept of hunting, you have to admire the passion, commitment and teamwork felt by all hunters working with their dogs.
As my wise husband states.."if you are putting chicken(fowl) on the dinner table, what is the difference, if it came from the market, or I bring home fresh".. he has a point... So I support the dogs.
Have you ever seen a hunting dog hunt? Point? Retrieve? It is amazing to watch these dogs perform what they are bred to do, what's in their genes. This is the real beauty of hunting dogs, they LOVE what they do, it is their job, it is in their soul, their essence. The added bonus is they also are wonderful devoted pets, the all-around family dog.
So I thought why not share the versatility of these sporting dogs. These dogs are capable of so much, just love them back.
