Rand’s first weekend in the ring! Three days of shows as the only entry and as a handler, I have work to do. But we got some great feedback and he got better every round! Hoping some more Wires will join us soon!

A little safe socialization for this munchkin today. Grassy fields and parks aren’t necessarily safe for puppies to visit before their immunities kick in. But they need to see the world! The socialization window is only fully open til 12 weeks and then you have about 4 more weeks til it’s shut. Doesn’t mean you can’t socialize an older puppy but it will take more reps and more positive experiences to make the connections you can get with one or two exposures for a younger puppy. So here we are in a portable xpen, and everything she needs to be entertained. We can see, hear, and smell everything happening at a youth soccer match. And that’s socialization!

Update: She has a home! Thank you for your shares and interest. 🧡

4 of 5 of our Bee litter have wonderful homes. This sweet girl is seeking hers! She shows great drive to work and will be a busy little buddy to have around. She would make a fantastic hunting, agility, or other dog sports partner. Contact me [email protected] for an application. Serious inquiries only.

Happy Mother's Day to Rheese! We have puppies on the way!

Grover needs a new foster home. He is in Montana. Contact Freckles and Tomcat Rescue if you can help him!

17/11/2022

These girls are in Montana and need a new foster home. They are part of an ongoing court case. They were confiscated from a neglectful home in May 2021. The courts have been very slow in processing their situation, so they are not yet available for adoption. If you live near or know anyone in the Montana area or nearby states that could offer a soft place to land for one or both of these girls, please contact Freckles and Tomcat Rescue.

FOSTER HOMES NEEDED. TRANSPORT IS POSSIBLE.
Sharing-
Good day, As many of you are already aware, we've had an ongoing situation in Montana regarding 23 Wirehaired Vizslas who were seized as part of a neglect/abuse case outside of Billings. These dogs have been in the care of Freckles and Tomcat Rescue, a 501c3 for the past 11 months. During this time two litters of Wirehaired Vizsla puppies were born into the situation, all of which are in foster homes. This case has been repeatedly delayed due to various issues in the court system, including the passing of the attorney who filed the initial case. They have attempted mediation and hearings but it is currently stalled.
This rescue is in desperate need of fosters for nine adult Wirehaired Vizslas. Please bear in mind, these dogs are NOT ALTERED and CAN NOT BE ALTERED as long as they are part of this court case. This means the females will have heat cycles every 6-12 months. They CAN NOT be adopted at this time until this case is settled and the ownership is determined. There IS the possibility the court will return ownership to the man they were removed from the care of and the dogs will need to be transported back to Montana. We all hope this will not occur, given the state of these animals upon seizure but this is out of our control. Our hope is that these dogs can go into foster care and either be adopted by their foster family upon settlement of the case or that their foster family will assist in the screening and adoption process to find them their ideal family upon settlement of the case.
These dogs did not receive the initial socialization they should have but they have come a long way in their adaptability. They need to go into a family setting where they can receive more one on one attention and assistance in helping them be their best selves. If you can offer one of these Wires a temporary foster home until this case is resolved or you may be interested in offering one of these Wires a foster home that has the potential to become permanent, please reach out to either me or Freckles and Tomcat Rescue. Fostering is NOT limited to Montana. We will do our best to aid in setting transportation.
They have 9 adults still in need of foster…
1) elderly female-Grammie Moppet
1) senior male-Colonel
1) (5 year old?) female- Sherbert
1) (5year old?) male-Orange Crush
1) (2year old?) female-Lilac
1) (2 year old?) male- Grover 2)
1) year old females-MissTeal & Tangerine
1) 1 year old male-Mr Green Jeans
Thank you for your time and consideration. PLEASE SHARE!

I am starting to record and share some educational videos for dog owners and their pups! Some will be specific to Wirehaired Vizslas, but most are applicable to all dogs!

This first one is all about reading the quiet warning signals our dogs send before they bite.

If you find this helpful, leave me a comment or share the video with a friend. 🧡

I am so sad about this news of a very disheartening situation in Montana regarding the seizure of 4 horses and 20 dogs, all believed to be Wirehaired Vizslas, with animal cruelty charges pending against the owner. The dogs are under the care of a nonprofit rescue organization, Freckles and Tomcat Rescue. They have all been vetted and are now in foster homes. The owner has not relinquished ownership of the dogs so they are now part of an ongoing investigation, awaiting a court decision that has the potential to take months though we hope it will be much shorter for the sake of the Wires. Due to this investigation, only limited information can be shared about them publicly. The Wirehaired Vizsla Club of America Rescue coordinator has offered unconditional support to the rescue in this and I am sharing this information in order to ask for support for the nonprofit rescue organization in Hardin, MT, housing the Wirehaired Vizslas. They have received approval from their County Attorney to accept donations for their care. If you are interested in contributing towards the support of Freckles and Tomcat Rescue as they do their best to work through this tremendously challenging situation please see the included Venmo and PayPal links. Every dollar helps and is appreciated. I have also personally donated and offered support in whatever way I can.

For some reason I cannot get my Instagram page to link to this page. But if you are interested in learning to hand-strip your Wirehaired Vizsla, I am sharing on Instagram stories a how-to with tips and tricks! Hopefully soon I’ll turn it into a YouTube video. See you over there.

We had a successful trip to Wyoming to find the elusive Sage Grouse. Loved watching these pups work! That’s Rheese on the right and her littermate brother, Atlas, on the left!

Enjoying a trip to the river this week. Lots of quail and dove to point, docks to jump off of, and swimming all day!

23/06/2020

We went out for our first dock diving lesson this past weekend! Rheese loved it. She was jumping off the full dock in just a few attempts. We will definitely be back for more of this very fun activity.

Working on some continuing education today in preparation for the future. 💜

We got new toys! Toppls are stuffable toys that interlock and bounce and wobble. I have seen these floating around the trainer blogs and enrichment groups for a long time. But we have lots of Kongs so I didn’t want to invest. I finally bought a few for the girls and they are a big hit! And they are so much easier to clean. Rheese’s raw food portion fits perfectly in the large, Jovie’s fits perfectly in a small. It takes them 20-40 min to eat them when they are frozen and we are all happy with the extra time spent. Tomorrow we are trying them frozen and interconnected. 😁

Enjoying a lovely evening with my girl.
