Glory

Glory is the 2nd vizsla to enter our household, and she is to be the foundation for Panacea Vizslas.

When I went to choose Glory out of her litter, I was looking for a puppy that could do it all and have a ton of fun doing it. Have you heard the expression "Be Careful What You Wish For"? Well, that is Glory in a nutshell!

Glory was shown very sparingly over 2 years and finished with 4 major wins. 2 of those wins were out of the 6-9 month puppy class. Her 3rd major was a WB/BOW win at the 2004 Twin Cities Vizsla Club, where earlier in the day she also earned Best In Sweeps Honors. That is a day that will be forever ingrained in my mind. Her 4th major was a 5 pt major win over litter brother CH Jakra's Vivid Up at Sunrise.

At the 2005 Twin Cities Specialty, Glory was again awarded a top honor by going Best of Opposite Sex. At the same show, her grandsire CH Lyon's Showdown by Jakra CD SH ROM (Wyatt) was awarded the only Award of Merit from the Veteran's class. Her litter brother Cash, CH Jakra's Vivid Jonquil won WD for a 5 point major to finish his CH and litter sister Jakra's Vivid Anja CD RN went High in Trial for the obedience trial. All in all, it was a great specialty!

In the show ring, Glory moves effortlessly around the ring, and is very balanced front to rear.

Glory finished her JH in the Spring of 2007. Otherwise, she loves to go pheasant hunting with Jeff. The 2006 hunting season was a great one for Glory. She excelled as the pheasant dog extrodanaire! In the field, Glory has a great nose and is a natural retriever.

Glory earned her Rally Novice title by getting her 3rd leg at the VCA Nationals in Dover, DE in October 2006.

In the house, Glory is our "busy bee". She is constantly looking for things to get into--whether it is coat pockets, purses, or bags. She is the counter sufer extrodanaire and I often will find her on top of the counters searching for food. However, she is also the cuddle bug and official meet and greeter of the house. She will be the first one to meet you at the door with that tail constantly wagging. She also loves to give her humans a lot of kissing and has perfected the jump and kiss. Glory has required us to have a great sense of humor and patience with her antics.

Only occasionally will we have litters. Glory has been bred once to CH Lyons Strike Gold CDX JH ROM. 8 puppies (5 girls and 3 boys) were born on March 27, 2006.
