stroller 341 Posted February 11, 2012 Report Share Posted February 11, 2012 Well after much debate and a lot of research i visited the Gonegos kennel in North Yorks this afternoon and spent a lovely couple of hours in the company of Roy Bebbington and his wife. Hugely knowledgable and down to earth, their dogs were a delight very laid back and responsive and a handy size. If all goes well with the breeding the pup will here in May/June. Started off looking at cockers then a quick look at GWPs then Spinone before setting my stall out for the Wirehaired vizsla. Cockers style was too busy for me and after looking after a couple of pups for different people over the past couple of months i didnt think they would suit me temprementally, i would have internally combusted! GWPs are beautiuful dogs and would suit my ground but jesus they are a handful and headstrong (ive been helping a friend train his). Spinones were just massive and a bit ploddy but lovely natured HWV are a nice med size and the kennel ive picked breeds a lovely line of capable all rounders Calling it a kennel is a misnomer as they all live in the house and are real pets which i personally like, they were just so chilled it was great to see. I just hope i can do the pup justice and give it the best start in a long working career Quote Link to post

stroller 341 Posted February 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2012 Thanks lads but until its sitting at my feet its all just a plan. Seemingly the vizsla only comes into season once a year and its this bitches first litter so there are a few ifs, buts and maybes. Fingers crossed Quote Link to post
