Puppy countdown - 4 weeks to go

Here's a couple of pictures of Dixie at 5 weeks pregnant... four more weeks until puppies are due.

Puppies a Good Possibility

Three and a half weeks since being bred, and I'd have to guess that Dixie is indeed carrying puppies. She is looking "thicker" these days.

2009 VCA Nationals

So, being the glutton for punishment that I am, I volunteered to chair the 2009 Vizsla Club of America National Field Trial, which will be hosted by the Old Dominion Vizsla Club and held the week of November 1, 2009, at the Cloverdale Farm near Sutherlin, Virginia. A separate blog has been set up to document the event: 2009 VCA National FT Blog. I have posted pictures of Cloverdale Farm, taken during the AKC Pointing Breed Gun Dog Championship held there this past March.

Spring update

Things have changed quite a bit this past month. I have found employment once again, now working on contract at Dominion Resources Services in downtown Richmond. Working downtown is a bit of an adjustment for me. Gone are the days of wearing jeans to work everyday. And then there are tolls roads, parking garage, a three block walk to and from the car, working on the seventh floor of a high rise building, getting lunch from a street vendor, all sorts of changes. But I'm enjoying the work and the people are all great.

Dixie finally came into season, unfortunately keeping her from competition the last few weekends of this field trial season. But she has been bred to Dylan, so now the wait begins.
