Honorable Mention: I have 41 years of involvement with AKC events.
Winning the Vizsla Club of America National Specialty as a breeder/owner/
handler, as well as regional specialty wins, are accomplishments that are very
precious to me. I love the bond that is formed with my dogs when working in all
venues (conformation, field, obedience, rally, agility). However, I feel the most
proud when I’m watching owners achieve their goals with their puppies. They
are all family to me. To see more of AKC's interview with Kathy, click here.

Honorable Mention: I have 41 years of involvement with AKC events.
Winning the Vizsla Club of America National Specialty as a breeder/owner/
handler, as well as regional specialty wins, are accomplishments that are very
precious to me. I love the bond that is formed with my dogs when working in all
venues (conformation, field, obedience, rally, agility). However, I feel the most
proud when I’m watching owners achieve their goals with their puppies. They
are all family to me. To see more of AKC's interview with Kathy, click here.
