Tru Vizslas - Promoting & Breeding for Tru Versatility

Dan and I, along with our sons Ethan & Oliver, our crazy Vizslas, our gorgeous Mountain horses and one nekkid Sphynx kitty are the eclectic group that make up Tru Vizslas!

Dan and I both wanted to own a Vizsla before we even met. Dan used to baby sit a V boy named Bazil who used to kick him out of bed. I had a friend who rescued a Vizsla from out of state and I knew from the first time I saw her that I would one day own one of these beautiful dogs! While Dan and I were dating I decided to bring Tru into my life. We then became engaged and Desi soon followed as a birthday gift to me. Our son Ethan was born into the family on Fed 4, 2005. My Fire came to us in May of 2006 and we all know that the additions wont stop there! In fact, we are expecting to be blessed with another son sometime in April of 2008.

Our dogs are spoiled rotten and get the best of everything that we can give to them. They are fed a grain free raw diet which I prepare myself. I also rotate various supplements to provide optimum nutrition. I have the dogs on a limited vaccination schedule for the best health possible. When feeding raw is not permissible, we use Innova EVO and Honest Kitchen dehydrated raw. Currently we use Dr. Meiser at Animal Care and Reproductive service for all of the dogs health care needs. She supports our commitment for raw feeding and reduced vaccinations. Without her, our beautiful Desi would not be with us right now.

Our dogs are always in a variety of training classes (obedience, agility, conformation, and soon to be rally) and both Dan and I work them regularly for Field Trials and Hunt Tests. Randy Boggs of Snow Ridge Vizslas is Tru & Desi's field trainer, Mark Smith of Remark Kennels is Fire's field trainer and handler and Diane Engelking of King's Kennels is our professional show handler. Our dogs are our passion and we love to work with them!

We are members of the Vizsla Club of Illinois (VCOI), the Lake Superior Vizsla Club (LSVC), the North American Versatile Hunting Dog Association (NAVHDA) and have an application for membership into the Vizsla Club of America (VCA). Jodi is also the secretary of the VCOI and has secretaried Hunt Tests, Field Trials and has helped run the VCOI informational booth at several events. In 2006, Jodi was the Double Bubble Fun Day chairperson - she is once again heading it up in 2007 and 2008.... this is the VCOI's biggest event. Dan gets to be Jodi's right hand man in all of the things she volunteers for! We are always educating ourselves on our breed and the activities we enjoy. We have lots of friends in the Vizsla world whom we spend time with too.

Why did we pick the kennel name of "Tru Vizslas"? Well when we were deciding on a name for Desi a friend suggested to use "Tru" in her name, just like in Tru's name. We thought about it and decided that it fit our philosophy very well. Both Dan and I believe in true versatility in our breed and strive for that in both of our dogs. It was also a way to honor Tru since he was our first Vizsla.. that is when Tru Vizslas was born! We work and breed for "Tru" versatility.

We always appreciate feedback about our site. Feel free to email Jodi or Dan
