June 2006:
"Cosmo" CH Jakra's Vivid Cosmos was bred to "Peyton" CH Redwillow's Party Girl JH with a litter expected in early August. Inquires are directed to Sue Render in Illinois Phone: (847) 683-4596.
The Nebraska Vizsla Club hosted it's annual Huntin' Buddy Championship, renamed the NVC Shoot To Retrieve Championship. Montana the 2005 Winner took a 5th place, he was so geared to hurry and find the birds he dropped his retrieves a couple of feet from Jak inorder to quick find the next Quail, he was docked for dropping the retrieve. These dogs are just too smart, I swear he can count minutes in this timed competition!! Greer moved up the ranks and took a 3rd place, she almost won the competition, we were very proud of the "kids"!
According to the Vizsla News May/June 2006 issue, "Anja" Jakra's Vivid Anja CD RA owned and handled by Ron Halpaus is ranked #2 in the Top Ten Obedience Statistics!!
To say the least we are very proud of this team! Way to go Ron & Anja, keep up those winning ways...on another note, Anja and Ron just finished her Rally Advanced title in Duluth MN on July 14, 2006. Much Congratulations to the team of Ron & Anja!

October 2006:
On October 1st, Moxie was just 6 months old, so we went to show just one day in Fremont NE, she pulled off a Reserve Winners bitch win. She was in strong contention for the points with 4 bitches entered, however her tailed wagged so hard and everytime she saw a new face it went faster, sort of threw her gait from being "smooth". Other than that (which exhibits her wonderful personality) she is PERFECT! Tons of potential when this little girl matures!!
Cosmo went too, showed his baby half sister how it's done, he took the Best of Breed win and showed beautifully in Group. Way to go "kids"!!
Cosmo, Moxie and I drove to the 2006 Vizsla Club of America National Specialty in Delaware the 3rd week in October. It rained on the way, but once we arrived the weather was quite warm. Moxie showed beautifully for a 6 month old puppy, she stacked and gaited like a pro, and hit some awesome poses. She made the cut in the Bred by Exhibitor bitch class, I was proud of her for making us look like a team! She was the only puppy in the class, all the other entries were 1 year to 3 years of age, Moxie did great amongst that tough competition.
Cosmo made a cut in Best of Breed competition as well. His showmanship was excellent, he is my boy!! Cosmo gained quite a few fans. Both Moxie and Cosmo had a ball with the other Vizslas, they were too social!!
The last week of October Jak took 6 of the dogs on an 8 day Pheasant Hunting trip, they had a ball, too many running birds, little cover because of the draught, but still they came home happy and with plenty of birds.
The very last weekend of October is our local Sioux Empire Kennel Club's Dog Show. I only entered Moxie since all my other Champions were out hunting with "daddy". She took Reserve Winners both days to a 5 point major. The GREAT News is her nephew "Paxton" went Winners Dog and Best of Winners both days to FINISH his Champion Title at only 7 months old and 3 weekends of shows! He is gorgeous, almost a replica of his past on Uncle Elliot, it was uncanny to see such a resemblance. Of course I fell in love with him too. Way to go Melissa and Paxton!! Congrats!
