Successful Vizsla Breed & Rescue Booth at the Responsible Dog Owner Day in Tampa
The TBVC had a booth at the AKC's Responsible Dog Owner Day on September 12 at the Harborview Center.
This event is meant to inform/educate/entertain & offer merchandise to the community & their canines. They had agility and obedience demos, police dog demos, 4-H dog handling demos and the Breed Parade - each breed goes around the ring while the announcer reads the AKC description.
Thank you so much to our human and 4-legged volunteers to spent the day representing our breed! Special thanks to Betty and Dibley, Renee and Guy VanM with Eli, Jim and Donita C. with Dascha and Rusty, and of course Pam Stuart and Monty, who organized the event (yes, Monty helped!) |

Congratulations to Ayla (Jazzberry CMF SR Island Girl JH) and her owners Stephanie Daugherty and Carol Johnson for receiving the Starr Schultheis Traveling Trophy for winning Amateur Walking Derby at the February Field Trial!
The Starr Schultheis Traveling Trophy is a memorial to Starr, who was one of the founding members of the Tampa Bay Vizsla Club and breeder, friend and mentor for many current club members. The trophy was sponsored by a number of people in her name and is given out each February during the TBVC Amateur Walking Derby stake. This win is especially meaningful for Stephanie and Carol--Starr bred their first vizsla and got them started in the field.
Congratulations Stephanie, Carol, and Ayla! |
