2016 Specialty Show

The club held its annual Specialty show on June 5th, 2016, in conjunction with the Erie Shores Kennel Club, in Caledonia, Ont. The weather was cool and overcast but the rain graciously ended before we got started and did not start again until we were nearly finished. There was a total entry of 5 in sweepstakes, and 3 in Veteran Sweepstakes. The regular show consisted of 22 in Smooths and 3 in Wirehairs, with 5 baby puppies.

Our Sweepstakes judge was Tammy Parris from Ancaster, Ont. Our specialty judge was Frank Washabaugh from New Jersey. They both did a great job sorting out so many beautiful dogs.

Secretary Lynda Friendly welcomed everyone before the show started, reminding the visitors of the raffle, put together by Jeanette Simpson, and the lunch which was available throughout the show. We also had a cake for everyone to enjoy celebrating the club’s 40th anniversary.

Although the entry was down significantly from past years, it was still a good turnout and everyone in attendance enjoyed themselves. Trophies were well received and the ring steward kept everything moving smoothly.

Huge congratulations to the owners and breeders of our 2016 Smooth Vizsla Specialty Show winners! This year, every dog was either bred or owned (or both in some cases) by a VSO member!!!!
