Zara is my ten year old Hungarian vizsla. When we first got Zara as a puppy, my husband and I had no intention of training her for hunting. When Zara was two years old, I entered her in a Junior Hunter Test at her breeder’s encouragement. With little training, she did exceptionally well and I found myself amazed watching her natural ability. Soon after, I decided that I wanted to train her to a more advanced level and that began a long journey that has taken me places I never imagined. We added a second dog, Colombo the Rhodesian ridgeback, a few years later. Thanks to the two of them, I’ve become passionate about all things related to performance dogs and dog sports.
I offer virtual sessions for pointing breed dog owners looking to get started in hunt tests and field trials.
I use colored pencils to draw highly realistic dog portraits from photographs.
In 2019, I created a video about my NAHVDA experience with Zara for their film festival.
I was featured on the Field Trial Lifestyle podcast talking about field trials, NAVHDA, and everything in between! Have a listen!
To commemorate my five years as a NAVHDA member, I wrote an article for Versatile Hunting Dog, the NAVHDA magazine. Read it here (page 10).
