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!
