Little Panoche Field Trial
March 6 & 7, 2010
Panoche, CA
AKC Event #2010224003
The Little Panoche trial offered a great venue for individuals wanting to observe a field trial because one of the courses takes place in a ravine (see 2008 and 2010 trial pictures in the gallery). People can sit up on the bluff overlooking the ravine to see what actually happens during a brace. This allows people who would like to see what a field trial is all about compete without having o enter. The trial offered two derby stakes - one was designated as walking. Regardless of whether or not you enter to win, it is truly an opportunity for you and your dog to come out, compete and have a great time.

Fun Field Day
April 17, 2010
Hastings Island, Rio Vista, CA
We offer a Fun Field Event which introduces current club members, non-club members and future potential Vizsla owners to the sport of hunting with a Vizsla. We give demonstrations using accomplished hunting dogs on pointing, retrieving, and honoring. We offer a "mock hunt test" to show people what its like to be in a hunt test and also gives the dogs exposure to live birds. At this event we also have a few of our club members give demonstrations on Agility and Rally-o to show people how versatile our breed really is.
Versatility Test: A versatility test was also hosted at the Fun Field Day. The test was to run a course about as big as a junior field, hunt, find birds, point, retrieve. An honor was not required and the handler could hold the dog on the flush and shot. Three passes under three different judges are required to earn a versatility certificate.
