Nouli is my very first vizsla.
He is my very special boy. I had a yellow lab at home and was
looking for a companion for her. A very special friend of mine had
a vizsla and suggested that I look into the breed knowing my
personality. When I started to research vizslas I knew that their
temperament and level of activity would be a wonderful fit for me.
I have always loved active dogs and wanted another companion to come
with me for more fun adventures. I wasn't sure if I was going to
go the show route or pursue other activities but I knew that I wanted a
vizsla and when I saw Nouli in the litter I knew I wanted him!
Nouli came home and fit right in.
I first enjoyed him as a cute and playful puppy and member of the
family. I soon discovered that he liked the field and went and
discovered what Hunt Tests were all about. At first I felt like
all thumbs (not to mention being nervous not to do it wrong!) trying to
orchestrate all the elements of being out on a brace of Junior Hunter
working with my dog. We figured it out quickly and Nouli passed
his four legs of Junior and we discovered the joy of working together in
the field.
Somewhere
in the midst of it all, I received an offer from Nouli's breeder (Jeanne
Starr) that she would show Nouli for me and I thought that might be a
lot of fun - so why not! I knew at the time that I wasn't ready
for the show ring and I enjoyed Nouli being shown from ring side!
So with Jeanne and Linda Snyder's handling skills, Nouli finished his
championship.

In 2003, we decided to see what
agility was about. Nouli took to it like a magnet. So now I
had to figure out how to handle in agility because Nouli was definitely
going to enjoy agility for a while! Fortunately Nouli is a natural
because I had only been able to give him training once a week, and he
progressed quite nicely! Finally at the end of 2004 I made up a
small agility set-up for practice in my back yard. We polished up
a few things and Nouli was ready to "fly" through competition. As
of March of 2006, Nouli earned his OA and OAJ! He made it
look easy!! We continue on competing in excellent!
Nouli
has the most kind and gentle spirit. Sometimes he makes me laugh
so hard because he has quite the "clown" in him. His expressions
are priceless. He would give all of his being to please which
makes him wonderful to live with and train. He loves
unconditionally and I love him right back. He is my very special
boy.
