Our newest superstar, baby “Emery” caught my eye early on — she is Zene’s doppelgänger in more ways than just appearance. Sweet like sugar but with extra spice and an independent but thoughtful streak. She is incredibly biddable and eager to please but can think for herself which became evident early on in her puppy socialization and introduction to bird work.
She finished her Championship title at the tender age of 7 months old with three huge Majors at Specialty/Supported Entries, and a big Bred By Exhibitor Group 2 during the competitive SoCal Sporting Dog Fanciers show. What a thrill to show this gorgeous puppy! At ten months old we started prep work for the NAVHDA Natural Ability Test and less than a month later, she received a Prize III, scoring 4’s (Prize I equivalent) in Nose, Cooperation and Water and the top rating in Pointing. We are so proud of her efforts. This was our first time ever testing in NAVHDA.
At just over a year old, she had FIVE titles to her name! She finished her Grand Championship with *five* GCH Majors (owner handled) and will work towards advanced Hunt titles in late 2020.

Emery’s pedigree reflects holds a proven strength in conformation and versatility, and she is line-bred on the longest lived Vizsla “Marker” BIS BISS AM CAN CH Dirigo Gambler’s Marker ROM HOF (1982-2002).
Her Sire “Teak” (MBISS GCHS CH Russet Leather Ride To The Top, JH MX MXJ) is a versatile Vizsla who is titled in Show, Agility and Hunting and has an impressive pedigree. “Teak” has been a very successful show dog and won Best of Breed at Westminster Kennel Club in February 2017! In 2016, “Teak” was the #3 Vizsla in Breed points and #5 All Breed. He is also a handful of Vizslas who have earned their Silver Grand Championship. Teak has seven (7) Best in Specialty Show (BISS) wins.
“Teak” (photo above) is a moderate male Vizsla with a lovely front assembly and return of upper arm and is clean moving coming and going. He is biddable and has a nice easy going temperament. He lives with his intact son, “Tanner” MBISS GCHG CH Comynara Tanner Is The Silver Lining Ride JH NAVHDA NA Prize 1; I have met the two of them together and they are just adorable.
His Dam “Kona” (GCH Russet Leather Wild Ride, RE JH NA OAJ) is a beautiful moving bitch and hails from a litter of nine (9) AKC Champions! They also are versatile Vizslas who are titled in Advanced Hunt, Agility and Obedience titled, Multiple Best in Show and Best in Specialty Show Winners. W-O-W! “Teak’s” maternal grandmother is “Geli” BIS MBISS GCH MACH2 Russet Leather Sacajawea RE SH MXG MJC XF ROM HOF who is one of most influencial bitches in the breed. I had the pleasure of meeting her in person throughout the years and she was simply lovely. In 2016, Geli was inducted into the VCA Hall of Fame.
Emery’s Dam “Zene” (GCH Moonlight’s Rock’n Ow’t, RN JH CGC ROM) completed her AKC Conformation Championship with a 4 pt Major; earning the majority of her points from the Bred-By-Exhibitor class. In 2011, she also won back-to-back Best Puppy in Sweepstakes at the SCVC in Walnut, and VCSC in Pasadena. The day after finishing her CH title, she took back-to-back Best of Breed wins for two 5 Point Grand Champion Majors – and she made the cut both days in the Sporting Group; she went onto finish her GCH tile with FIVE GCH Majors! She easily completed her JH (Junior Hunter) title and Rally Novice (RN) title. Her progeny include a Best In Specialty Winner (BISS) and Group Placer as well as six (6) Champions and a 7th who needs a single to finish, as well as Obedience and Hunt titles. In October 2019, she earned her Registry of Merit (ROM) Certificate.
Zene’s Sire “Rocky” (GCH/Can CH Captivatin’ Ain’t He A Knockow’t, ROM) finished his AKC Championship at 7 1/2 months old with 5 Majors in only 8 shows. Before age 18 months, Rocky was awarded several Best of Breed wins and earned multiple Sporting Group Placements — all owner handled! With relative ease, Rocky finished his AKC Grand Championship (owner handled) in August 2010. In December 2015, he received his Registry of Merit (ROM). Rocky sired five litters with four females. His offspring include two (2) Best in Specialty Show Winners, Multiple Champions and Grand Champions, Agility, Obedience and Hunt titled progeny.
Zene’s Dam “Csilla” (CH Tamaron Okos Piros Csillag, CD RN JH CGC ROM) is a proven producer earning her Registry of Merit (ROM) Certificate; she produced a Best in Specialty Show (BISS) Winner, five (5) Champions, three (3) Grand Champions (two others are Major Pointed), seven (7) Junior Hunters, and a Rally Novice (RN) titleholder; along with Multiple Best of Breed, Group Placing, Award of Merit, and Multiple BBE Group Placements. Csilla has consistently passed her faultless temperament and good looks to her offspring. She hails from a successful litter with siblings earning (Multiple) Best in Specialty Show wins, and a Best in Show.
