Rusty Dog Ranch

Rusty Dog Ranch is MOVING! Many of you know that I have wanted to move out of California, and it is officially going to happen.

My ranch has sold as of today! We have not yet located our next ranch, but we are looking in the Ozarks of NW Arkansas or SW Missouri. We will be leaving California at the end of February. However, we do plan to continue breeding Vizslas, just in a much prettier location. ;)

I will post up once I have exact details.

Thank you all for all your years of following Rusty Dog Ranch!

If you are interested in a Vizsla puppy from our line, Gunn's Vizslas is having a litter in September! You can contact Melodie ShotGunn at: https://www.facebook.com/groups/353130545083639

This says it all!

Origins of the Vizsla

Link Between the Huns and Vizsla Dogs Unravels an Ancient Enigma The history of the Vizsla or Hungarian Pointer breed goes hand in hand with that of the Huns’ (later called Hungarians’ or Magyars’) and even the history of their language.

Our new website is up! We are now mobile friendly.

Still need to add some new pictures and documents, but excited to get it up and running!

Should you give a vaccine booster, or test for titers?
"Some dogs maintain antibodies for their entire lives to canine distemper, canine parvovirus, and canine adenovirus, said Dr. Ronald D. Schultz, professor of immunology and founding chair of the Department of Pathobiological Sciences at the University of Wisconsin-Madison School of Veterinary Medicine and an author of the WSAVA and AAHA guidelines."

Here is an interesting article published on the American Veterinary Medical Association website: https://www.avma.org/News/JAVMANews/Pages/160701a.aspx

To titer or to revaccinate

We had an awesome day at the 2019 Puppy Reunion! Thank you all who came from near and far to join us! Not only did we celebrate Mother’s Day (yes 4 legged kids count here!), but we were able to have our rattle snake trainer out to teach avoidance!

It’s so nice to see that it works when my previously trained dogs won’t go any where near them! We even had our mascot (whiskey, our Yorkie) trained this year. I ran all of my Vizslas through and so happy they will be avoiding them if the encounter them.

Remember, you should still get the vaccine if you hike. It will buy you some time if they get bit.

Thanks again for those who made it. We had a lot of fun and so nice to see all of my babies!!!

Sharing a happy ending and tip. If you dont have them, get a collar embroidered with your phone number, now!

Seri was with my daughter, visiting my sister in a remote location in Colorado. All our Vizsla's wear nylon collars embroidered with our phone numbers, just in case (also microchipped - but that takes more effort then some people will put out.) Well yesterday Seri and Blue (my nephew's V) decided to take off on them in Colorado. Blue lives there, but Seri doesn't.

We were heart broken because 4 adults going in different directions in vehicles and off road bikes could not find them in 8 hours. As many of you have read, there have been a few lost V's listed in the Vizsla pages, including at least one in Colorado never to be found. You can imagine the panic at not knowing if they were ok, hurt, or???

Well we got them back today!!! That collar worked, and someone called us to say they had Seri! Both Seri and Blue are safe. The tears were flowing! If you have never lost a dog overnight, it is the worst feeling (well maybe loosing a child overnight would top it, but its close!) Randi said she is buying a GPS collar, because overnight is too long! LOL!

We are all rejoicing to have her back home where she belongs.

Make sure you have your collars embroidered, because tags fall off! Especially when traveling away from home. Kiss your V's tonight We are!
