The puppies will then be born on august 9. wednesday may 13 2009 Early this year we already experienced what it means to lose something precious. Today we have lost the most precious thing anyone can lose: Marcelina Dehaes (mama of Rudy). She couldn't fight her disease any longer...

More on her can be seen soon on this website. Luckaly we still had a vacant place in our car for Pitypang Kurca. She joined us unexpectedly to Belgium. We haven't regretted it for a second, because she can be a very important upgrade for our kennel. saturday february 7 2009 International Championship Dogshow Eindhoven: the first one in a long time would also have been Pompas' first show.

More info: 0486/ 871 874 thursday january 15 2009 As if the loss of Pogo wasn't bad enough! Today a real tragedy took place: 3 of our dogs were poisoned in their kennel. The amount of poison was so great, that the only possible explanation is that someone did it deliberatly. It is very unlikely that we will ever know who is the guilty coward of this terrible act. The 3 victims were Quatro, Belle and Pompas. Quatro is the only one who survived the drama thanks to a bloodtransfusion from Dio. This sorrow will last a very long time... 'in memoriam' saturday january 10 2009 Today is a black day in the history of the 'Alfa Pogo kennel'...

Long expected he finally came to fulfill our dream:our son 'Bob' was born today, healthy and cute as can be! This is the reason of the long period of inactivity with the dogs. This was then: And This is now: monday october 6 2008 Dinky brought her last litter into this world today. There are 3 bitches and 2 dogs. We expected a bit more hence the gourgeous offspring our eldest wire already had (it was a shame that we could confirm from this litter that the longhaired Vizsla actually exists). 'Alfa Pogo Hiphop' is the little bitch we kept ourselves. More on her can be seen soon on this website. saturday june 28 2008 Today Dio has also proven his hunting skills. He passed the official 'test for natural hunting ability' (TAN) in France (Walincourt). sunday june 15 2008 At the International Dogshow in Hulten (the Netherlands) our dogs did well again: - 'Alfa Pogo Fara': 1EX in wirehair bitches championsclass, CAC and CACIB - 'Quatro of Skyrocket': 1EX in shorthair dogs open class, resCAC and resCACIB - 'Nagyszögi - Tarsoly Dió': 1EX in shorthair youth dogs, CAC - CACIB - BOB and a nice 8th place in group 7 in the ring of honour!!! saturday june 14 2008 Our bitches 'Alfa Pogo Fara' and 'Becky du Sart la Marlette' (Belle) passed the official 'test for natural hunting ability' (TAN) organised by the Belgian Magyar Vizsla Club.

Unfortunately we then lost one of the males after 3 days... This was Ebbe's first and immediatly last litter, because we don't want to put her through this another time. We thus decided on sterilisation during the operation. Ebbe and her kids are doing just fine at this moment. Some pictures on the puppies-page. thursday january 10 2008 The echo gave us certainty; Ebbe is expecting! The vet even told us that there will be at least 6 puppies.

Her past did more damage than we could ever have expected. In the fields that she knows around our house, she hunts like the best; but on unknown territory she doesn't take any distance and is always looking for support from her master. - 'Quatro of Skyrocket': The judge spoke with lots of praise about him and even called him a 'champion in the making' ! But he is still a little bit too young in his head (read: too playful) to point steadily. - 'Alfa Pogo Fara': Also got praised by the judge for her passion, speed and good nose; but she too is still a little bit too young to hunt systemathicly. - 'Pitypang Selma': She proved that we got her for the right reasons. At the age of merely 6 months she aquired her TAN!! Although only 1 out of 4 succeeded in getting the TAN, this still was a great day for us. All dogs have proven that they have talent and the future looks bright! sunday june 17 2007 At the Lovanium dogshow our dogs did it again: - 'Alfa Pogo Fara': 1EX wirehair youth bitches and best wirehair youth. - 'Quatro of Skyrocket': 1VP shorthair puppy dogs, best shorthair puppy and best puppy of the show!!!

'Zia' also won the CAC - CACIB. sunday february 18 2007 Today 'Becky du Sart la Marlette' gave birth to only 1 pup (a boy). A big disapointment to the many candidates that were on our reservationlist. The one boy: 'Alfa Pogo George' will be able to have a show- and huntingcareer with his new owners (Mr. en Mevr. Mullenders). saturday january 27 2007 At the International Dogshow in Moeskroen 'Alfa Pogo Fara' got 1st exellent and BOB in wirehair youth bitches.
