1st Dog CC winner Hungarian Wirehaired Vizsla

Was bred by a lady I microchip puppies for. She & her hubby are lovely & I'm soooo pleased for her

was a lovely dog

Yes he looked great, and I loved the way the commentator outlined the correct coat they should have - minimal furnishings etc.

Sadly the bitch got BOB

To be fair the bitch was a stunning dog and deserved to get BOB. Absolutely fabulous breed type, the best movement I've yet to see in a Wire Vizsla and to top it all a working gundog!

LOLOL I was told she was very well liked by the judge so was odds on to win, but the dog is actually rarely shown.

I do like the Wires, Diane also bred the one that won the Friends for Life award-the family that own him now have a younger one as well, they must be addictive !!

Rarely shown, so you're reckoning it was face judging? Okey doke!

The Crufts HWV BOB winner was shown at 13 Champ Shows from March 2010 to March 2011 - but you still say she's rarely shown? Sour grapes perhaps?

The breeder kept two pups from that litter and has shown both regularly. The male always beat Oscar in their classes together.

I picked the BOB out of the post grad class as a really nice specimen and I'm a total novice in HWV, imo the best dog on the day won.

I thought she was a stunner Lovely looking dog, seemed quite laid back and relaxed in that environment. Loved her coat and she had a beautiful head on her. Ah.

They have a habit of cropping up

Watched her being judged, a stunning dog, mind they are all stunning, warming more and more to them.

I can hardly talk, if I don't get placed when I think I should've I'm the first to have a moan! Rossi didn't get placed in his yearling class, but I knew he wouldn't be the judges type and there were some really lovely dogs in his class. If I get beaten by dogs that are better then that's fair enough!

There were some really lovely Wires there this year, the quality has improved no end over this last year. I remember watching the classes at Darlington in 2009 and the variance in the breed was massive, there was hardly anyone showing the breed either then!
