DECEMBER 2010        Merry Christmas!!  

What a wonderful year 2010 was at Renaissance Vizslas.  We would first like to thank all our puppy buyers who provide such loving homes for our puppies.  We enjoy hearing from you throughout the year so keep those cards and photos coming! 

We would also like to congratulate all those who competed with their dogs in 2010.  Congratulations to NEW Title Holders -
                        Ch Renaissance Better Than Money JH
                        Ch Renaissance Go For The Gold JH
                        Ch Renaissance King Of Hearts
                        Ch Renaissance Loroka Dancing For Joy
                        Ch Renaissance Loroka What Spending Limit JH

And a HUGE Congratulations to Greg and Dennise Dutson with Mojo, GCh Renaissance Kiss's Casanova and Susan DellaPenta with Noble, GCh Renaissance Noble Tradition who both finished 2010 among the Top Twenty Vizslas in America!!

We are THRILLED that our girl, "FLIRT", BIS BISS GCH Renaissance Girls Gone Wild not only broke the record for the number of Specialty Best in Show wins, but finished 2010 as America's NUMBER ONE Vizsla for the second year in a row.  She will retire from the show ring and start a new adventure producing tomorrow's stars!! 

This would not have been possible without the dedication and expert care and handling from our friend and handler, Linda Clark.  She has made our dream a reality and we will NEVER FORGET what she has done for us.

WHAT a ride!!
