Baby “Lyra” (lie-rah) is Csilla’s last daughter and it seems she was meant to stay with me, her mom and half sister, Zene. Lyra keeps me entertained every day and she is one of the most charismatic and lovable Vizslas I've ever met.

She was a very fun girl to show once she matured and she finished her Championship title in short order with FOUR Majors, including a Specialty Win from the Bred By Class in only a handful of shows. Along the way she was awarded a Grand Sweepstakes Winner, Best of Opposite in Sweepstakes and earned multiple Bred By Exhibitor Group Placements (five in total). As a finished Champion, she went onto complete her Grand Championship title with FIVE Majors in only three weekends. Thank you Adrienne Owen (New Point Kennels) for handling Lovely Lyra!

With minimal bird exposure she picked up a Junior Hunter Pass and I have plans to finish her title after motherhood. She easily completed her Canine Good Citizen award -- but I think given her drive, energy level and working ability, she will be my first Agility dog and I can't wait to see what kind of fun we'll have together. 

Lyra's Sire: "Jack"

Her Sire "Jack" (CH Tivoliz Colosseum Contender) is a handsome and substantial Vizsla with a beautiful front assembly, nice deep chest, strong top-line and clean movement. A true testament to his conformational qualities, he completed his Championship title on one Specialty weekend, earning three consecutive 5 POINT MAJORS . . . at 14-months of age from the Bred-By-Exhibitor class. Way to go Jack! Once a finished Champion, he retired from the show ring as a companion for his Owners. His pedigree holds a proven strength in conformation, agility and field ability and his pedigree reflects several renown Vizslas, including the VCA Hall of Fame (HOF) “Danny” (BISS DC AFC Riverbend Deacon’s Dandy CD VC ROM HOF) and “ET” (DC Rebel Rouser ET ROM HOF); as well as, “Eve” (BIS BISS Am/Can/Intl CH Kizmar Caveat Spellbound JH NA NAJ OJP ROM), and “Cowboy” (BISS CH Russet Leather Caveat Kiowa JH ROM).

Lyra's Dam: "Csilla"

Her Dam "Csilla" (CH Tamaron Okos Piros Csillag, CD RN JH CGC ROM) is a proven producer earning her VCA Registry of Merit (ROM) in May 2014. Her progeny include a Best in Specialty Show Winner (BISS), five (5) Champions, three (3) Grand Champions (2 others are Major Pointed), seven (7) Junior Hunters, two (2) Rally Novice (RN) titleholders; along with Multiple Best of Breed, Group Placing, Specialty Award of Merits, and Multiple BBE Group Placements. Csilla has consistently passed her faultless temperament and good looks to her offspring. She hails from a successful litter with siblings earning (Multiple) Best in Specialty Show Wins, and a Best in Show.
