Judge: Mrs. Donna Holman (UK)
The extremely high quality of the dogs meant that there were some close decisions to make, and I thank all the exhibitors for accepting them with such grace.

How well you have all worked to keep that wonderful dark and oval eye and true Vizsla head, which is unfortunately disappearing elsewhere. I personally think that you have some of the best Vizslas in the world.

It was also good to see how well muscled and fit they all looked, with the ability to do a days work. Temperament was excellent and all of them were a joy to go over.

HUNGARIAN WIREHAIRED VIZSLAS

Was highly impressed with the quality of the Wires. All of them displayed that wonderful temperament and kindness that they are world-wide known for. Coats are obviously going to vary for many years to come, fortunately they all had good undercoats. Even in Hungary coats are just as varied ! When looking at them it is important to remember that they were bred from the GWP and Vizsla, so the whole picture has to be considered - not just the name.

	1st - Nadaf Penz Leonardo (Furlong & Harris) Best HWV Puppy in Show Liked this dog very much. Super head, lovely dark gentle eye, great nose, nice furnishings, good coat coming through - just the right amount right for his age, good shoulders and strong neck, good bone and nice spring of ribs, good rear angulation. Moved very well in class, but in challenge did not.

Junior Dog (1 entry)
	1st - Nadaf Penz Michelangelo (Sleebs & Harris) Reserve Challenge Dog / Best HWV Junior in Show Still looks quite the baby, which is so common in the breed - on the whole they are all late maturers. Supurb young dog, really beautiful head and neck, wonderful dark kind eye, once adult coat coming through. When he fills out and matures a little be interesting to see how he goes on.

	1st - Ch Nadaf Pens Lord Crispin (IID) CD (Salisbury) Challenge Dog / BEST OF BREED / Best HWV in Show Loved this dog, he very nearly fits my ideal of the breed. Medium sized and really well boned. Superb head with all the attributes required, including lovely big nose, and his facial furnishing given him that slightly squarish look. Really strong neck and great shoulders that gives the impression of carrying game easily. Good spring of ribs and good strong loin. Super coat. Moved very well with drive. CC & BIS

Open Bitch (1 entry) 1st - Ch Throstlenest Miz Monipenny Of Silvanus (Imp UK) (Harris) Reserve Challenge Bitch I almost went into shock when this bitch came into the ring ! To see that cheeky face smiling at me, was almost overwhelming. Apart from becoming slightly portly. With that charming head and moving true I could not have refused her the RBCC. Great wire coat of good length.

Baby Puppy Bitch (2 entries, 1 absent)
	1st - Hungargunn Rattle And Hum (Cragg) Baby Puppy in Show Delightful little lady, and stood so very well indeed, even at this age looks such a show girl, so pretty and lovely personality, with everything going for her for the future.

Minor Puppy Bitch (1 entry)
	1st - Graebrook Superstition (Graebrook Kennels) Challenge Bitch / Best Opposite Sex in Show Really presented a true picture of the quality of Vizsla-ness. Superb little lady in the making with utterly gorgeous head, eye, neck and construction, stood and ran like a dream. BCC. She lost out for MPIS as she was over tired and decided that she had 'had enough'.

Junior Bitch (1 entry)
	1st - Hungargunn Dances With Wolves (Owen) Junior in Show Larger bitch with pretty head, good length of rib, but unfortunately on the day she was a little tentative and was not showing at her best.

2nd - Ch Tanashka Osi Aggie (Quinn) Different type of head from 1. Much sharper type of bitch. Good topline, good ribcage allowing for plenty of heart room.

Australian Bred Bitch (2 entries)

2nd - Ch Hungargunn Femme Fatale (Cragg) Loved the size of this bitch and everything about her, unfortunately now not quite in shape after litter - then perhaps she could have been 'Femme Fatale'.
