| Miss "Poo" was named after the "spice/sprout" theme shared by her littermates. Registered as 'Southern Harmony,' a powerful cocktail containing both Southern Comfort, after her sire, and Jack Daniels, whom Thyme, her mother, is line-bred. True to her name and the libation she is named for, Potter is a mixture of sweet and zesty...but always serves a smile. Not only an elegant bitch of beauty and grace, but one of fierce determination and die hard work ethic in the field. She never ceases to amaze me with her talents, her biddability, and her charm. Potter is the humor in my day, a true 'song & dance' routine. Whether smacking her head with her tail or playing pogo-dog as she "roo-roo's" your favorite tune, Potter has become the dog of my heart, and one for which has forever changed my life. She is everything I imagine a Vizsla to be. |
| In The Ring: Potter finished her conformation Championship with back to back majors at Supported Entries. All of her wins came from the Bred By Exhibitor class except a notable Best of Winners at the MVVC Supported Entry. True to her talent, she was the only winner from that Specialty weekend to also have field trial placements at All Breed and Vizsla only trials. After completing her Championship, Potter headed to the field and professional trainer, Jamie Fountain (Oconee Kennels) to learn the ways of a Gundog. She was campaigned by Jamie and earned her first Gundog placements her very first season. With Jamie she also earned an Award of Merit at the 2010 VCA National Gundog Championship. But the fun was only about to begin!!! |
