NOTE:
A first breeding attempt via Artificial Insemination was performed in April
2001
with timing the likely cause of this miss since the semen quality both
shipments was great.
The next natural breeding done in January 2002 didn't take most likely due to
a
mycoplasma infection since we had 2 successful ties and the timing was right.
Kim and Saul Himmelfarb were
wonderful stud dog owners to work with.
They were patient and
accommodating.
We regret there are no Neela-Gaiter puppies to enjoy.

A Note on Titles:
Look at the titles of the ancestors and make sure they reflect what you want in a Vizsla. Do you want a high energy, independent hunter? Look for hunting titles (FC, AFC, JH, SH, MH). Do you want a trainable companion with a good temperament? Look for obedience, agility and tracking titles (CD, CDX, UD, NA, OA, AX, etc.) Do you want a beautiful Vizsla that meets the breed standard? Look for conformation titles (CH - Champion, BISS - Best in Specialty Show, BIS - Best in Show). ROM (Regsitry of Merit) indicates that Vizsla has produced a certain number of puppies who earned titles in multiple areas (show, obedience, hunting, agility, tracking, etc.) HOF (Hall of Fame) is a high honor only given to 2 Vizslas (deceased) per year as voted on by the Vizsla Club of America membership and indicates that Vizsla is widely recognized to have made significant contributions to the breed. Titles are indicative of hunting ability and trainability and temperament and appearance. Even if you do not plan on showing or competing in performance events, aren't there certain qualities you want in your beloved family pet that the titles reflect in the pedigree? This pedigree's strengths are in health, trainability and conformation. Gaiter has produced some get with strong hunting ability, but Neela's hunting abilities have not been proven and therefore hunting ability cannot be predicted. If hunting is your primary focus, you should consider investigating other breedings. |
Gaiter's Special Show Wins:
Best in Show (BIS): |
Neela's Profile Neela finished her AKC Championship (CH) before the age of 2 with two 4-pt and one 3-pt majors despite a rookie owner/handler. Regarding trainability, she was owner trained/handled to her AKC Novice Jumpers (NAJ) and Open Standard (OA) agility titles and has 2 of the 3 Open Jumpers (OAJ) legs. She has her CGC (Canine Good Citizen) and Companion Dog (CD) obedience title. She tends to be a vocal Vizsla, as when she wants a drink of fresh running water, she goes to the bathroom, sits by the sink and "calls me over" to turn on the tap. Neela epitomizes the nickname "Velcro Vizsla" as she is my adoring shadow at home. This is Neela's first litter of puppies. Gaiter's Profile Gaiter followed up 3 straight 2- and 3-pt wins to finish his AKC Championship at 15 months by going Best In Sweeps and Best of Winners at the Connecticut Valley Vizsla Club Specialty. He finished his Canadian (CKC) Championship in 3 straight shows with 2 Best of Breed wins from the classes and Winners Dog at the first Vizsla Society of Ontario Specialty. He has been owner-handled to his AKC Junior Hunter (JH), Novice Standard (NA) and Open Jumpers agility titles. He needs one leg to complete his Open Standard title. He was the #1 Vizsla in the US for 3 years in breed point standings. He is an All-Breed Best In Show winner. He has 14 Best In Specialty Show wins, including the Vizsla Club of America 2000 National Specialty. He is a member of the VCA Registry of Merit (ROM). To date, his get include AKC and CKC conformation champions, agility and obedience titleholders, a Master Hunter and a Best In Specialty Winner and group placer in the AKC and CKC. |
Neela Bred & Co-Owned by Gaiter Bred by |
Gwen Tomlinson, Neela's breeder and co-owner, wanted to keep a female from Neela's litter as it was the last planned from Neela's dam, Alli. However, Gwen didn't feel she could take on another puppy at the time. Therefore, I agreed to a future breeding of Neela predicated on soundness in conformation, temperament, hips and health.
Neela has met and surpassed all expectations in these areas. Gwen will keep a female from this litter in order to carry on Alli's lines and has been instrumental in selecting the sire of this litter.
(NOTE: Due to the
unforeseen problems and costs, this agreement is no longer in effect.)
I also plan on keeping a female
puppy. We will carefully place the remaining puppies to match the interests and desires of puppy
purchasers. If you want to pick out your own puppy, please look for
another breeder who is less concerned with a good match and more concerned
about money. If you are willing to have your Vizsla shown but are not able to hire a handler nor show it yourself, I will handle it in the ring for you at no charge if you live in close proximity to me and when not in conflict with my schedule. You must pay the entry fees and bring your Vizsla to the shows. I encourage each puppy buyer to consider a co-ownership which would allow me to show your dog in the "Bred by Exhibitor" dog show class which some judges favor (all else being equal). To network with other Vizsla owners, I will strongly encourage you to join the Central Wisconsin Vizsla Club and Vizsla Club of America. I take lifelong interest in all Vizslas in the litter and expect you to keep in touch with me regarding accomplishments, development, health, breeding plans, etc. Keep in mind there are no guarantees that the results will be an accurate predictor of the adult since environmental factors can also influence the puppy's development. In other words, if a well-adjusted, socialized puppy leaves the breeder and is consequently mistreated or not socialized or neglected, it will not grow into a well-adjusted adult which cannot be blamed on the breeder nor the puppy's temperament but rather on the owners. A first unsuccessful breeding attempt via Artificial Insemination was performed in April 2001. The next unsuccessful natural breeding was done in January 2002. A third breeding attempt is being contemplated at the moment. Breeder

Contractual Obligations of the Buyer: Maintain proper diet and environment, safe and secure housing, to confine animal in a fenced yard or kennel run when left unattended outdoors, but not restrain on a rope or chain. Should you want to breed at
a future date, following are Rusticu prerequisites: I do not merely sell puppies to anyone who can pay for them. Rather, I will attempt to carefully place them into homes which I feel will be able to give a puppy the care, attention and training each precious puppy deserves. Owners willing to train and compete with the puppies will be given preference as long as they also meet the above criteria. Please do not tell me falsely that you have these intentions just to get a puppy. This is a subjective process which I feel is in the best interest of Neela's puppies. Do you want a dog to leave out in a kennel except for a few days a year to go hunting? Are you going to tie the dog on a rope and leave it in the backyard? Are you going to restrict the dog to a certain area in the house and not integrate it into your family? Is your idea of good exercise a walk on a leash around the block once a day? Do you have so many children and/or other dogs or are so busy that this puppy will be left in its crate most of the time and develop callouses on its elbows and be a nuisance or destructive when it is finally let out of its crate because YOU do not give it enough attention nor train and positively reinforce desired behavior? Do you think $10 per training class or $40 for 40 pounds of quality dog food or $20 entry fee per dog show/trial (if you plan on competing with it) is too expensive? Will you leave items laying around your house and blame it on the puppy when s/he chews them up? If any of the above is true, please reconsider getting a dog - it may not be in the best interest of the puppy. |
