Just a little note that I’m not a trainer, a professional in any way, this just just my opinion. Everything I read about crate training 7 years ago told me to start crate training right away, from the day we brought out puppy home. Boy, I wish I had waited…

Since I’ve gotten Whiskey I’ve been happily daydreaming about having another Vizsla sister for Whiskey. Imagine my glee when we met up with Whiskey’s half-sister Millie (from the same father Ripley). The two half-sisters (Whiskey with red) They are both fearless climbers, though a little silly as they are “stuck”…
