Show Results - Historical

Before COVID-19, we competed under many international judges familiar with our breed, and attained considerable success, highlights of which are listed below.  Since COVID-19, although our dogs are physically as good or better than previously, the lack of international judges has significantly altered the showing experience.  We still show our dogs, but prefer to focus on giving them more stimulating and enjoyable experiences.

  • Our dogs have been No 1 Vizslas in NSW for a number of years, including Ch Metropolis MemorialJoieDeVivre as NUMBER 1 RISING STAR IN NSW  2019,  Ch Metropolis La Tour De Force (AI) as NUMBER 1 RISING STAR IN NSW  2018, Ch Metropolis Beaucoup Monsieur (AI) as NUMBER 1 VIZSLA IN NSW FOR BREED CHALLENGE 2015 (no 8 nationally), and Ch Metropolis Beaucoup Beaucoup (AI) NUMBER 1 VIZSLA IN NSW IN ALL CATEGORIES 2014 (all according to the Dogzonline Pointscore)
