HUNGARIAN WIREHAIRED VIZSLA ASSOCIATION AWARDS 2009/10

Tallon coming to live with us in November 2008 was a foregone conclusion from the moment we first saw him at the tender age of four weeks. The most adorable and confident puppy, he is charming everyone he meets with his kind nature and good looks - and his tail never stops wagging! He has happily made himself right at home with his sire, Brokk, half-sister, Lana, and smooths Red and Fynn. He is everything we had hoped for in a Brokk son, and more.

He attended his first show aged 6 months and one day in April 2009, taking it all in his stride, and was awarded Reserve Best Puppy in Show. Later in the month he qualified for Crufts 2010 at his first championship show. At still just 6 months, he was awarded a Gundog Puppy Group 4.

Tallon amazed and delighted us aged 11 months, when in one weekend he achieved his first Open show Gundog Group placing and at the same show a Puppy Group placing. The next day he continued to shine, and was declared Best Puppy in Show at the Hungarian Wirehaired Vizsla Association Open Show. Tallon qualified for Crufts 2011 at his first championship show of 2010.

Tallon is available at stud to approved bitches.

We aren't the only ones who think Tallon is special! This handsome young man has been spotted by premium pet food producer Arden Grange, and has been one of their canine models since he was a puppy, regularly appearing in their promotional material.

Best Rare Breed

Joe Chorley, Welsh Northern Counties and Colwyn CC, May 2010


"Taller male with very good head, medium length of neck, good lay of shoulder blades. Would like a little more angulation to upper arm. Straight forelegs, a little upright in pasterns. Correct length of back, strong level topline, decent ribs,  moderate hind angulation, strong rear pasterns, very good mover."

Chris Bexon, Crufts, March 2010


"Decent youngster, top end for size, head and expression very typy. Will benefit from a larger ring where he can show his driving action to advantage."

Best of Breed

Barbara Hargreaves, Merseyside Gundog, February 2010



"This 11-month dog has a lovely balanced head with good shape and colour, good length of neck into well-laid shoulder, good front, bone and feet. Mature for age with good depth and spring. He has a good turn of stifle.
On the move he was sound and positive."

"Eleven months dog of deep russet colour, nice head with sufficient beard, intelligent expression, level topline, good tailset, good lay of shoulder with straight front legs. Needs to drop in chest. Moved freely around the ring to win Best Puppy in Show."
