We just updated our website, check it out and let us know if anything needs editing!

We are a small-scale breeder who focuses on proper temperament and working ability of the Vizsla.

Summit got back out onto the paddle board today to see if he remembered much about it. He wasn’t totally sure, but loves to swim so he got it down ok! He was joined by one is the current Maremma x Karakachan as puppies, Bolt, who swam for the first time.

We are thrilled to announce that we have a litter due out of Ravoli and Quincy, due early July!

Dam: Forest King Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs JH

Sire: GCH Shikari Dream Past the Wit of Man JH (with 2 MH passes)

This should be a fun litter with great hunting and show potential! We have a waiting list at this time for this litter.

We had a greet weekend at the CVVC field trial, and today, with me handling, Summit won the Amateur puppy stake, adding his name to this wonderful memorial trophy. Many of our other dogs are listed on here, so it feels like a blessing to add his name to it as well.

Thank you to judges Paul Shirley and Mitch Swierczynski for their time in the saddle watching these dogs! Thank you to Jared for being willing to scout for me!

This trial wrapped up Summit’s young dog stakes and he is now done with trials until he is a broke dog. He will start that process this summer and I am hoping by next spring he will be back at it in the big dog stakes! He will spend the next couple of months in the show ring, working towards a show championship.

Thanks to Seabank Kennel for their hard work with our boy this season, and we look forward to the next one!

I finally bought Summit’s pictures from the 2024 VCA National Specialty Show last week! Dawn handled him for the second place ribbon, but due to the timing of when the pictures were being taken, I was the one there for it. Thanks to Rebecca for the last minute wardrobe change (I had jeans and a t-shirt on)!

I would say he cleans up ok for a “field dog!”

What a great week Summit has had! We are at the Vizsla Club of America’s 2024 National Specialty and yesterday we took 4th in the 12-15 month sweepstakes class and today, with Dawn Bradshaw handling, he took 2nd in his class!!! This is a huge accomplishment, especially for a field dog and only his second show!

This boy has a bright future we think! Thank you to Dawn for handling him and to Rebecca for being my emotional support human during this journey!

This week kicks off the 2024 VCA National Specialty and Companion Events! This is a week-long event where dogs (Vizslas) and handlers from around the country compete in Conformation, Agility, Rally, Scent Work, and Obedience. We are blessed to not only be competing with Summit in conformation, but to also have 4 other dogs coming from our lines competing in other venues (3 born here and another is a Conlan daughter).

I snagged the summaries of these dogs from the catalog. We are so proud of these dogs and grateful for their families for putting in the work!

We wish all competitors good luck this week and especially "our" puppies!

We sponsored the Open Derby trophy at the 2024 VCA National Gun Dog Championship this year in memory of Rogue. ❤️

Summit cleans up ok! This was his first ever show and he is still learning about it all, but he did a great job! Thanks to Dawn for showing him! The week before this, he was competing at the 2024 VCA National Gun Dog Championship and earned two Awards of Merit, which is fantastic for a national competition!

In his first real weekend of trialing, Forest King Climb Every Mountain JH, aka Summit, took not only a 2nd place in Open Derby, but he also earned the first 2 points towards his field championship with a first place in Open Puppy! Thank you to judges Nancy Huyser and Lance Fargo for his derby placement and Nancy Huyser and Carl Correra for his puppy win!

Huge thanks to good friend and Summit’s trainer, Andrew Campbell of Seabank Kennel for all his hard work with Summit over the last two months at bird dog camp. We knew Summit was a special puppy from early on, but we needed help bring out the best in him, and two months of camp have made a big difference!

He is now qualified for, and will run in both the puppy and derby stakes at the 2024 VCA National Gun Dog Championship in PA in the first week of April. He also starts breed handling classes this week in preparation for the National Specialty show at the end of April.

We are so proud of this Allie x Rooster puppy and can’t wait to see what the future holds for him!

Happy birthday Summit (and brothers and sisters)! I can’t believe you are a year old already, time has flown by like crazy! Summit is still away from home on his birthday, but will be home in less than a week! We can’t wait to see him very soon! ❤️

03/02/2024

In other news, Summit continues to do well down in Georgia. He will be coming home in only 2 1/2 weeks! He will be home for two weeks, then make his debut on the national stage at the 2024 VCA National Gun Dog Championship. Huge thanks to Seabank Kennel for this awesome opportunity he has had to learn on wild birds! Home soon, buddy!

03/02/2024

Sisters Rory and Morrigan (Conlan x Allie) had a great morning compering in barn hunt! These two have the best owners (different families) and do agility, obedience, rally, barn hunt, as well as hunt tests (and probably more I am forgetting)! We couldn’t ask for better families for our dogs than ones who love them and train and compete with them-giving their brains something to do!

Cava and Ravioli love each other so much. This is how they often spend their days ❤️Snuggle buddies

Summit rocking his bird work down in GA. Followed by a spa treatment to cool off. We miss him a ton, but know he’s learning so much! Thanks to Seabank Kennel for the updates on how he is doing! He’ll be home in a bit over a month!

Got this image tonight from Seabank Kennel of Summit having some spa time. While we miss this goofy boy a ton, knowing he is having the time of his life helps a lot. I can see that his face has grown wider in the month he’s been gone and I can’t wait to see him next month! Huge thanks to Andrew for keeping us apprised as to how our little buddy is doing ❤️.

01/23/2024

We have been extremely fortunate that Summit has had the opportunity to spend some time in southern Georgia with Seabank Kennel, working on lots of wild birds since early January. He has grown leaps and bounds in his bird work and shows that he has what it takes to hopefully get far in the bird dog world! We are grateful to Andrew for allowing Summit to join him and can’t wait to see how he continues to improve. While we miss him, there is no substitute for wild birds with a dog, especially with the drive he has!

Do good, baby bird dog, keep making us proud!

This week, the Forest King family lost of of its members, Calli, who was almost 14. She was a beloved family member of Jennifer and Gene and is missed terribly. Calli was known for her love of carrying lots of things at once, and balls…The image of the tasty looking drink is not ice cream, but, in fact, her tennis ball when she wanted to continue to play, and they weren’t fast enough; it’s one of my favorite pictures that reminds me of her.

We love you Calli and hope you find huge piles of sticks to carry when you’re at the bridge. Say hi to big sister Rogue when you see her. ❤️

Finally got Summit’s more “official” JH title pic! He’s a good looking pupper!

Look who is Ugly Chews dog of the week, it’s Allie! ❤️ Allie looooves her Ugly Chews and is looking forward to our auto-ship arriving any day now.

To finish up the weekend we ran Forest King Stinky Cheese, “Feta” twice today in her first weekend of hunt tests. She did a good job for a brand new bird dog and one who just came home a month ago.

In an update on Feta, she finished her second brace, then packed up and left for her new home shortly after! Feta (whose name is changing) has come a long way in the month we have had her back, and is really learning about life as a family and bird dog. She is going to a home with a family we know well, as they have a prior puppy from us (who is now 11), as well as a young rescue Vizsla who was looking for a true playmate. This home will hopefully be the perfect fit for her, and help continue the work on some of the anxiety issues she still has. Feta is a super sweet dog and while I am sad to see her go, I can’t wait to see how she does in her new home. We wish her and her new family the best of luck and hope to see them all again very soon! We love you Stinky Cheese!! 😘😘

It was a very good Saturday for Forest King Vizslas! Not only did Summit finish, but his half sister Forest King Great Queen of The Night Court “Morrigan” also finished! In addition Forest King SF Breaking Murphy’s Law “Murphy”, and Forest King Lepidoptera Huntsman CA BCAT “Paxton”, each earned a JH leg!

11/25/2023

Pending AKC approval, Summit is now Forest King Climb Every Mountain JH, after passing his last leg of his Junior Hunter test this morning with Mike handling. He runs big and bold and looks fantastic on point. I’m excited to see where this little guy goes!
