Has anyone else read the inspirational article in Gun Dog magazine about "Bart" the Vizla yet?

Made my day.

His owner is in our Vizsla club and we all adore "Barty" - an amazing story about a wonderful dog. Watching him run is impressive, just gives you chills.

I remember the pics when Brenda was running against him in hunt test. I had a friend with a GSP that lost a front leg and it slower her down a little but she sure didn't let it bother her too much. Dogs just don't take time to complain like most of us do.

Elkhunter, a GDF member, had a three-legged GSP that climbed the chukar hills with him.

Don't tell the dog he has a so-called disability - he sure didn't think so. R.I.P. Ruger

Finally, something we can agree upon.

Gee glad you found something.

Guess I am surprised as I have found I agree with you most of the time.

Great! Lets talk politics and religion!

It was a very impressive story. I could see a three legged dog doing this if it was a back leg loss. But a front is crazy! All the weight it has to bear. That is amazing.

Yeah pretty cool.. I have often re-viewed the story about "Cooper" the blind birddog, on youtube. If you can watch that without a lump in your throat, you're an oak.

Shorthairs were the closest match to keep pace with a 3 legged dog... To get Pointers would have just been rude.

You just can't resist, can you?

FC Steel Creek's Real Windy finshed her AKC FC and ran hour NGSPA stakes, placing I believe, after losing a front leg to a brown recluse spider bite.

Reminds me of the guys on the trap league dropping down to a 20 gauge then a 28, same thing in this case, three legged Viz to a GSP then a Pointer.

She got hooked on hunting dogs... Only two choices... Pointer and GSP

Yes, Windy was winning hour AA stakes with 3 legs. One heck of a dog!

Not really.

NGD: ????? Its commonplace to shoot 12's & then subgauges in registered Skeet tourneys but as far as Trap goes, thats a new one to me.

As for practice rounds, some people believe it makes you a better shooter to practice with a subgauge... IMO it makes more sense to shoot the same gun (unless tubed) with a tighter choke.

What's really amazing is watching him swim. He will swim after a duck all day!

I used to shoot trap with a 20 gauge. That's all I had. i did all right too; amazing what you can do when you have to. ( it really ticked off the old guys though who had the "proper trap gun".
