My name is Lisa Parker. I
have two 5.5 year old Vizslas
(a brother and sister). I've been taking them to obedience classes off and on since they were
a few months old. A couple of years ago we got our CD obedience title and
most recently our rally RN title. We are currently training in Open,
Utility and advanced Rally. I enjoy working with my dogs and would love to talk with
others who are interested in obedience - whether for fun or for competition.
