Aunt Zene loves those babies!

Aunt Zene (Lyra's 1/2 sister - different father) loves the babies and likes to get in the whelping box to help clean and snuggle the babies. Lovely temperaments are so important and Zene is one of the best. 

Of course I allowed Lyra to make the decision whether or not Zene was allowed near the babies, but I think Lyra welcomes the extra puppy-sitting.

2011 Eukanuba Best of Breed Winner

Top Five Vizsla (All Systems) in 2011

"Baci" is a handsome and moderately sized, yet robust Vizsla who is recognized by his far reaching side gait and clean movement.  A true testament to his conformational qualities, Baci was a Top Five Vizsla (All Systems) in 2011. He's since gone onto earn a prestigious Gold Grand Championship, amassing almost 500 Breed Points (read more: http://www.akc.org/press_center/article.cfm?article_id=4392). During his show career, he was awarded Multiple Best in Specialty Show Wins (Lone Cypress Specialty in Carmel and Woofstock/Vizsla Club of Northern CA in Vallejo) as well as being a Multiple Sporting Group Winner, and he also won Best of Breed at Eukanuba in 2011, defeating nearly 50 other Vizslas. 

Bred sparingly, he has consistently produced nice front assemblies/shoulders and offspring with good substance and bone. He has Multiple Champions and Grand Champions to his credit, including Ranked Specials, Group Winners and a Best in Specialty Show Winner. 

Personality-wise, Baci has an infectious energy and is a sweetheart around the house. You'd never know he was seven years old -- as he still greets visitors with a bouncy and puppy-like enthusiasm.

Baci being Baci ;)
