May 2008
May 24, 2008: Cisco won the Open Gun Dog stake (19 starters) at the Fort Detroit GWP Walking Field Trial at the Highland Field Trial Grounds in Highland, MI. This was Cisco's first gun dog win, and a big one at that -- a 4 point major! Cisco hunted hard, handled a stop to flush only moments after the cast-off, and had multiple finds (three total, including a beautiful edge find in the woods) when other dogs were going birdless. Not a bad way to end a short spring season.
May 15, 2008: Nena has been bred to Cisco. The pups are due in mid to late July.

April 26, 2008: Cisco took 4th place in Amateur Gun Dog (16 starters) at the Vizsla Club of Michigan field trial at Ionia, Michigan. This marks Cisco's first gun dog placement (and also the the first time he has "gotten around clean" in a gun dog stake). I was very pleased with his performance (3 finds and a nice forward race).

December 2007
December 1-2, 2007: Congrats to Phil Rohs and Silent Bell, a/k/a "Bela," on their placements at the Vizsla Club of Illinois Winter Walking Trial. At only 8 months old, Bela took 1st place in the Open Puppy (10 starters) and 2nd place in the Open Derby (14 starters). Bela is following in her mother's footsteps, consistently placing throughout the fall, and now winning, in both puppy and derby stakes at a young age. Bela also completed two legs toward her Junior Hunter title earlier in the fall. Bela is out of Rio's first litter, sired by Cisco. I expect big things from Bela during the 2008 field trial season.
