Bird's Landing, December 28th, 2011.
Bailey earned his kibble today. Went out with three friends this afternoon for a hunt in Field #2 at Bird's Landing Hunting Preserve.
My long-time friends, John and Mike, had never hunted behind a pointing dog. I think they liked the experience. Tommy had joined Bailey and me last year on a hunt.
Today Bailey worked the field very well. He retrieved all the birds and didn't let any get away. We hunters missed a few birds.
We hunted the field in three 45-minute walks. This gave Bailey a chance to recharge his batteries.
He hunted a total of 2 1/2 hours.
I could tell he was done after over a dozen birds pointed and retrieved back to me.

We hunted about 25 acres.

| Bailey was one tired dog on the way home. Quote from Jenny Hawthorn: " Once the Vizsla owner comes to understand that they have a companion hunter, a friend with them in the bush, out on the tussock, or by the riverbanks, life just keeps getting better. Those who want a tool they can train and work and put away in kennels when not in use will never want nor appreciate the Vizsla. " |

Hi,
Do you know a vizsla breeder whose vizsla parents are fed exclusively or raw meat diet by any chance? Thanx.
I have never met anyone that has done a BARF diet for their dog here in the US. I have freinds in the UK that do. Part of it has to do with availability of Raw acceptable foods.

Hi Rod,
I know a V breeder in Vancouver, BC who only feeds raw and has 3 generations of raw fed dogs still kicking around. Let me know if you want the info.
