Helen Nash Presents Portrait to the Bird Dog Hall of Fame

Duke’s five generation pedigree is impressive & heavily titled. As a young pup Duke displayed a lot of potential as a bird dog. He has a high level of energy, a keen nose and great work ethic. With those characteristics being prevalent we chose to compete in field trials with him. As a young puppy / derby dog Duke dominated the weekend trials. His consistent wins placed him as the number one ranked puppy / derby dog consecutively in the Vizsla News. Duke’s shining moments as a puppy / derby dog are:

• 2001 MIDWEST DERBY CLASSIC WINNER
• 2001 VCOI FUTURITY RUNNER -UP
• 2002 NATIONAL VIZSLA ASSOCIATION (NVA) RUNNER- UP
• 2002 NATIONAL VIZSLA CLUB OF AMERICA RUNNER - UP

Duke is currently competing in Gun Dog and Shooting Dog stakes. He was recently ranked the # 2 Top Ten Gun Dog in the Vizsla Club of America Magazine.

Duke continues his winning ways:
• 2008 National Vizsla Association National Amateur Field Champion in the 1 hour championship at Groves Spring, Mo.
• 2007 National Vizsla Association 2nd Runner Up in the 1 hour championship at Groves Spring, Mo.

Not only is Duke proving himself in the field, but so our his offspring…

Midwest Derby Classic Winner - Derby Champ

As a stud dog Duke has characteristics which will certainly improve our breed. He is a high class bird dog with an extreme drive. His work ethic is admirable. Duke has a great deal of stamina which we all know is vital to be a National caliber bird dog. He displays staunch style and he hunts a course wisely. Another important characteristic which Duke possesses is that he is an awesome companion. He lives in the house with our family & two little girls as our pet.

In the book, “ Field Trials” by : William F. Brown it states what it takes to be a successful field trial performer.
* Must possess great speed
* Bird sense ( The possession of this quality enables a dog to apply his inherited instincts & natural qualities to the best possible advantage when he is searching for game.)
* Style ( Enhances the pleasure of watching the running of field performers)
* Olfactory powers of high order ( Keen nose)
** Prepotent Bloodlines ( this is desirable in the ideal field trial dog, for the reason that while one may occasionally meets with a performer of doubtful breeding, whose individuality is so great that he impresses his own quality upon his progeny, the majority of great dogs that are the accidental result of the mating of mediocre progenitors fail to breed on with any great regularity.
* Proper confirmation ( An absolute necessity in the ideal field trial dog, for unless he possesses such, he cannot compete on an equal level with other high -class dogs, therefore, the really great performer never lacks in the proper balance of parts that allows him to move without friction.
