"Billy"
Billy is one of our boys from our May 2024 litter, out of our Solaris rockstar Roxanne (GCH CH Solaris Your Mama Don't Dance at Vizcaya) and our home-bred boy Paddy (Group Winning/Owner Handled Best in Show/Multiple Best of Opposite S*x in Specialty/2018 Vizsla Club of America Reserve Winner's Dog GCHB CH Fantasy's Little Golden Horseshoe CGC). We held Billy back in order to watch him grow just a bit more, and do a more in-depth assessment of his potential.
Billy is a super sweet, super snuggly, eager to please, intelligent and active little boy. His favorite activities include running with his favorite human (my nine year old daughter), chasing after bugs and butterflies, and pouncing on every unsuspecting grass seed pod he can tackle. He is a little softer in his temperament - meaning that he may want to go, go, go, but if you correct him too hard, he will melt into the ground. Extremely biddable and handler-focused, Billy is already quickly picking up commands, and will thrive in a home that can match his energy level and inventiveness.
Billy does have some bird-sense, and we would love to see him in a home that is interested in doing some casual bird work with him. A desire to actively and regularly hunt is not required, but bird work would be an excellent outlet for his energy and his creativity. He has excelled in his introductions to frozen bobwhite quail, and his points have style and flair. He willingly retrieves with no regard for feathers, although his retrieve to hand needs some work - it tends to become a game of keep away with this fantastic new toy he has. If not bird work, his home must be committed to keeping him active and engaged through some structured activity - Billy is not going to be the kind of dog that is going to be happy always doing the Netflix and chill. Sometimes, yes, but not all of the time.
Billy is nicely put together, and would likely do moderately well in the show ring. He may be too challenging for a new Junior Handler, but would likely do well with a more experienced Junior who also enjoys other sports and activities. Billy has been introduced to water that comes up to his chest (where he can still touch), and he is in and out like a duckling. This boy will try anything if it makes his people happy!
Billy is fastidious in his crate, though he does have a bit of age-appropriate happy tinkling if he is picked up or petted while coming out of or immediately after coming out of his crate. An avid car rider, this boy genuinely enjoys going on adventures to new places and seeing new things! Billy is dog neutral in that he is perfectly content whether on his own or with other dogs - as long as he has his people! He does not tend to be particular barky or loud-mouthed - if he is fussing in his crate, it is because a need is unmet (he's hungry or he needs to go potty). He has done very well with being introduced to leash walking, and handles stairs like a master.
Billy has had his second vaccine, and he is ready to spread his wings and fly to his new family! He will come home with everything he needs to transition, registered and chipped, on a comprehensive contract.
The litter theme for this litter is The Heart of Rock'n'Roll - "Billy" is inspired by Billy Joel's song "It's Still Rock and Roll to Me." His registered name must come from the lyrics of that song - we suggest "Fantasy's Talkin' Bout the New Sound", but his home will have some flexibility with his final registered name. These puppies were born in the early morning of May 9th, 2024.
