Jett's Bio from the Rhapsody Vizslas website:

Jett is from our Justice/Ellie litter, and was one of two boys. He lives with a good friend of mine Boulder, CO. He finished his championship very easily, almost undefeated through the classes and with three majors. Other than showing, Jett was owner-handled by his newbie dad to his JH with impressive scores of 9's and 10's. We plan on pursuing training towards his MH in 2019+.

With only light training in the field since he's been living with us at camp Rhapsody, Jett's bird work is very admirable and honest. He's a natural backer, has a beautiful stylish point, and is well on his way to being broke. We ran him in an OD stake at a FT, and although he went birdless, he walked away with several nice comments from the judges and gallery.
Aside from Jett's accomplishments and biddable personality, he is a pleasure to live with. He can (and will) play fetch with the chuck-it for hours if you let him! He and his sister, Naomi, are a hoot to watch together, and have earned the nickname of "the twins" - they are always getting into something naughty together, or cuddling together in their cave-bed.
Jett has sired two litters thus far, and has one AKC Champion, and several others on their way to finishing their show titles, as well as getting started on performance titles.

[Karen] Jett is a wonderful companion for his owner and he flies as a service dog companion on his  owner's many work travels. He is a biddable and friendly dog who is up for anything! Some of our breedings took place with his owner out of town (Thanksgiving Holiday) and Jett was content to travel with total strangers like it was the most normal thing in the world to do. He is a very easy going and lovely tempered dog.

Jett's pedigree reflects a proven strength in conformation and versatility:

Ellie began her specials career in October of 2013 only 9 weeks after having her first litter, and the rest quickly became history... she attained her PLATINUM Grand Championship and was America's Number One Vizsla (All-Systems) for three consecutive years. She has 18 career Best in Specialty Show wins, 12 Group wins, 40+ Group Placements, was awarded the coveted Vizsla Club of America Dog of the Year, and was 3x BOS and 1x Select at the prestigious Westminster Kennel Club Show. She went on to win Select bitch at the Vizsla Club of America Regional Specialty in 2014, AOM at the 2016 VCA National as well as BISS at the 2016 VCA Regional Specialty, VCA National Select bitch in 2017, and AOM at the 2017 VCA National.

Aside from Ellie's accomplishments, it has been the impact she made in the whelping box that sets her apart. Ellie was bred three times, and her kids have gone on to be nationally and internationally recognized. She has produced a total of 4 BISS winners, a National BISS winner, multiple group placing kids, dogs that have gone on to compete in a multitude of venues, and most importantly - animals with phenomenal temperaments that enrich the lives of their families. Her grandkids likewise continue to make us proud and represent our breeding program well. We love our Ellie, and are lucky beyond a reasonable doubt that we were given the opportunity to be owned by her.
