Rheingold Vizslas

Scarlett won best of opposite sex at the Philadelphia Kennel Club/ Purina National Dog Show, so she didn't make it to national telivision. However, The Philadelphia Inquirer wrote a beautiful article about the Rheingold gang and featured Scarlett on the cover of the weekend section. Montgomery Newspapers also featured us in their pre-show publicity. Thank you to the Kennel Club of Philadelphia for choosing Scarlett for one of your publicity dogs!

Here are the links to the articles:

 Rheingold Alberich D'Fircka Zee (Duncan) became Rheingold Vizsla's newest Champion today at the Wilmington Kennel Club's 78th All-Breed dog show in Bear, Delaware.  Claiming Winner's Dog on a beautiful spring morning, Duncan acquired the necessary AKC points and finished in style.  He was presented beautifully by Melissa Lynn Foehrkolb.

What a week for Duncam and his owners! Duncan's first litter was born six day's before this photo was taken. Go Duncan!

Rheingold Vizslas had a super day in Howard County, Maryland:

Pip added two more points to his total by earning Best of Winners. Thank you to Melissa Foehrkolb- Four wins in five shows with Pip- Go Pip and Melissa!

Ch. Rheingold Erda Scarlett Sonja takes the breed with handler Jessy Sutton from a strong group of specials. Thanks to Jessy for his lovely presentation!

Special thanks to Mrs. Deborah Verdon for her consistency

in recognizing both of these lovely Rheingold dogs!

Duncan wins winner's dog at the Lehigh Valley Sunday show and, with 2 majors and 14 points, is almost a champion. Please, oh please, let's hope that Duncan does not follow in the unique footsteps of his older siblings, Cooper, Scarlett, and Piper who had to wait and chase that last point. Break the curse Duncan! Thanks to Carol Rappaport for her beautiful presentation and to judge Carol Brown for recognizing Duncan at this highly competitive show!

 Rheingold Siegfried Parsifal Pip wins his first points at the Greater Philadelphia Dog Fancier's Association and Philadelphia Kennel Club shows despite acting a bit like a loony pup in the ring. Three days, three wins, three points- Pip's on his way. I guess pretty does count! Thanks to Judges Everett Dean, Elliot More, and Ann Yuhazs.

Special thanks to Melissa Foehrkolb and Brittney

for harnessing our young boy's energy and

beautifully presenting Pip!

Ch. Rheingold Erda Scarlett Sonja wins the breed under judge Mrs. Polly Smith. She also performed nicely in the sporting group and got a second, and serious, look! Thank you to Jessy Sutton for presenting her beautifully. We forgot to get the formal pic, but Paul always has the camera ready at shows :)

Cooper and Scarlett are recognized by the judges as they both make the cut both days in an extremely competitive group of specials.

Duncan places second both days in open dog.

Miranda places fourth in open bitch at Westchester in a class of almost twenty.

Pip makes his official show debut and and wins his class at Sussex Hills and wins his sweepstakes class at Westchester.

Most Important, we all had a wonderful time seeing all of the people and vizslas. Scarlett especially enjoyed seeing her special boyfriend and future mate, Roadie, again. Go to the puppies page to see their reunion!

Piper continues her agility success with owner Donna Hungarter.

Piper has had a great start in agility during her first year of trialing. She's already earned 4 AKC agility titles, 1 USDAA title, and 5 legs toward 3 other USDAA titles. Go Piper and Donna!!!

Ch. Rheingold Erda Scarlett Sonja wins BOB under Judge Nancy Liebes. Thank you to Mrs. Liebes for your compliments and for recognizing another lovely Rheingold girl, and thank you to Michelle Scott for beautifully presenting Scarlett.
