After a very long high school baseball season, we are finally able to get Latte back into the show ring. We had some fun this Memorial Day weekend at the Kennelworth KC match in Guilford. Latte won her puppy sweeps (and paid for her entries) and then won her class in the regular match show. She had a very strong showing in the breed ring, but lost out to another Vizsla (due to handler error! Sorry Latte). We look forward to the CVVC Specialty show in Greenwich.

February 16, 2008
	In only her second week of showing, Latte earns Reserve Winner's Bitch at a 4 point major. After winning the blue ribbon out of the 6-9 month puppy class in the First Governor's Foot Guard show, Latte was runner up today in Hartford, CT.  No points, but quite an honor.  Congratulations Latte!

Latte (Marrick's Szizlin Copper Creek) made her debut into the dog show world this weekend at the Connecticut Valley Vizsla Club Specialty in Secaucus, NJ. She finished second in the puppy sweepstakes (23 entries) and then came out and won her puppy class in the regular show. Latte was in a very large 6-9 month puppy class and came away with a blue ribbon and ceramic plate from CVVC for her efforts. She has all the heart and desire of Baci and all the good looks of Tosci, so we hope she continues to excel in the ring. Congratulations Latte.

Out of the whelping box and into the field; less than a week after her puppies go home, Baci took a third place at the Connecticut Valley Vizsla Club's Hunting Dog Stakes, at East Windsor's Flaherty Field Trial Area.  Baci has not seen a bird in over 6 months, she is still not in the best of shape after the latest litter, and it was an incredibly hot day, but she went out hunted like a champion.  She found birds, was steady on point, and retrieved to hand.  On the way back, in the truck, she sat next to me and just licked my face all the way home.  I think it was her way of saying, "Thanks for getting me away from those crazy puppies and letting me do what I love best".          She always gives us 100% whether it's in the show ring, in the field, or at home on the couch.  We are so proud of our Baci.

October 1, 2007

All of the puppies from the Baci-Tosci litter have gone to their new homes.  Our sincere thanks go to our new owners for giving these special little Vizslas a forever home:  Brett & Steph Mortimer (Kirby fka Torrone), Mike & Claudina Stevenson (Rex fka Straciatelli), Nancy & Shannon & Ryan Appelquist (Bizou fka Fragola), Rich Frautten & Adrienne DelColle (Khumbu fka Tartufo), Jamie & Alexandra Crowley (Hadley fka Ananas), Butch & Carol Newman (Mya fka Passione), and (for the second time) Chuck, Leslie, Evan, & Tori  Grande (Elli fka Gelsomina & Roxy fka Fendi).  Latte fka Limoncella will stay with us in our home and Nocello will be with us always in our hearts.  Thanks again to all of these wonderful people, for loving forever what we have loved so dearly the last 9 weeks.

November 26th, 2006 Cheers to Champion Szizlin Marrick's Baci JH for her work in the show ring this weekend.  On Friday, she won her class and finished Reserve Winner's Bitch (runner-up) to a 3 point major.  On Saturday, she won her class again and was Winner's Bitch and Best of Winners for her second 3 point major.  On Sunday, she won the Connecticut Valley Vizsla Club supported entry and was Winner's Bitch and Best of Winner's again, this time for a 4 point major  and her Show Championship!  Our deepest appreciation to Patsy Dahlinghaus for handling her to her Major wins on Saturday and Sunday, and to Dennis Witzske for her Reserve on Friday.

Congratulations to Baci.  This weekend she became a Junior Hunter.  At Nod Brook in Simsbury, CT, she passed the final two legs of her Junior Hunter title with scores both days of eights and nines out of ten.  Many thanks to all who helped Baci in the field, especially Mr. A. Tomei, who spent many hours with me in his backyard working on her pointing and retrieving.  Thanks, Mr. "T" for  your time, effort, knowledge, and patience!

It's been almost 8 months since Baci has been in a Dog Show Ring.  Well, she's back! On Saturday, Baci earned Reserve Winner's Bitch (1st runner-up, if you're a Miss America fan) and on Sunday, she was Winner's Bitch (Miss America) for a one point win. This weekend was Baci's first venture back into the showring since her litter went home 3 weeks ago. She's gotten her figure back quicker than we thought she would.  Even though both Saturday and Sunday's shows were small, Baci came through with flying colors.

September 10th, 2006
	All of the puppies have gone to their new homes and are doing very well. They are fast becoming loving members of their new families. Along with a new family comes a new name. Fendi is now "Roxy", Chanel is now "Lucy", Versace is now "Morgan", Dolce/Gabana is now "Gretel", and Calvin is now "Otis".

August 13th, 2006
	Puppies are going outside daily and enjoying themselves very much. They are almost 6 weeks old and will be going home to their new families in 3 weeks. Pictures can be found on the "Puppies" page.

July 24th, 2006
	Puppies are doing well and growing fast. They have been moved from their whelping box to the kitchen of our house. They have begun to walk around (and fall quite a bit like all toddlers do) and are exploring their new environment. Teeth are coming in this week which means that Baci should begin weaning them shortly. Go to the "Puppies" page to see more photos of the litter.

July 5th, 2006
	Baci went into labor at 5 PM and as of 10pm there are 5 girls and one boy. The girls are: Fendi, Prada, Versace, Chanel, and Dolce-Gabana. The boy is named Calvin.
