    *** AKC ACCREDITATION UPDATE ***
    *** WE DID IT!!! WE'RE A FULLY LICENSED AKC SPECIALTY VIZSLA CLUB ***

    We're now licensed in conformation, obedience (including rally), hunting tests, and field trials. So many years of hard work by so many wonderful people. We should all be feeling proud to be among so many amazing Vizsla guardians who truly care about our club and our breed. We stuck together, kept our eye on the goal, kept working hard, and knew this day would come. Thank you to ALL of our members close and afar. Without YOU, this could never have become a reality!

    Now, we plan our first AKC Licensed Specialty Show (February 2011), AKC Licensed Walking Field Trial (this Fall!), and AKC Licensed Hunting Test (this Fall!). But, perhaps most importantly, our Summer Picnic and CELEBRATION PARTY!! :-)

Welcome to the Rocky Mountain Vizsla Club, Inc.
The Specialty Vizsla Club of Colorado

We are a group of Vizsla enthusiasts in the metro Denver area who participate in various activities with our beloved companions. We are the Specialty Vizsla Club of Colorado. We have many "open space" outings, snowshoeing, and hiking adventures throughout the year. Our members are also involved in various AKC events such as conformation, agility, rally, obedience, field trials, and hunting tests. Members are also actively involved in Vizsla Rescue. If you're looking to add a Vizsla to your family, our Breeder Referral Program can help you locate a responsible Vizsla breeder in Colorado. Please don't buy a Vizsla puppy until you've talked with us!

Looking for a Vizsla puppy?

So, you think you want a Vizsla? First, make sure you read all about Vizslas--though we love them, they're not the right breed for everyone.

Next, please, please consider adopting (or fostering) a Vizsla from rescue.

If you decide you really want a Vizsla puppy, please make the commitment to add a Vizsla to your family the right way. Choose a responsible Vizsla breeder.Vizsla Puppy

The Colorado/Wyoming Vizsla Rescue Group (CWVRG) NEEDS your help!

Because of the abundance of irresponsible people breeding and selling Vizslas, the CWVRG is taking in more rescues than ever before.

This is very disheartening news.

But you can help by fostering a rescue Vizsla. Contact Rita Prindle, the CWVRG coordinator, or Alyssa McCluskey the assistant coordinator for more information.

UPCOMING EVENTS

NEXT EVENT--June 27, 2010, 10a-1p, - Annual Summer Picnic/Vizsla Spring Olymics/RMVC General Membership Meeting. Come out and enjoy a lazy summer afternoon in Ft. Collins with your fellow club members. Connie is again, generously welcoming the RMVC and our red dogs to enjoy her pastures and pond. There's plenty of space for the Vizslas (and their humans!) to run, play, and swim. We'll start the day with a few games--winner is crowned "RMVC's SuperV of 2010!". Then, we'll chill out...eat good grub...visit with good folks...and laugh at good dogs.

Oh yeah--and we're planning to C-E-L-E-B-R-A-T-E our shiny, new AKC LICENSED TITLE!!! This licensing means we are the Specialty Club of Colorado: licensed to hold conformation shows, rally, obedience, field trials, and hunting tests!! WAAA-HOOO!!!!

Not a member? Come out and play anyway--We'd love to meet you! RSVP to Mel Reveles.
