Activities include art-making, stories and books, a collectable breed fact sheet, and an opportunity to meet a live dog.

February’s Breed Spotlight: Vizsla
Saturday, February 22, 12-2pm

The Vizsla is a versatile, red-coated gundog built for long days in the field. For centuries these rugged but elegant athletes have been the pride of Hungarian sportsmen, and their popularity in America increases with each passing year. The Vizsla is easily recognized by his sleek golden-rust coat. As a hunter expected to work closely with humans, Vizslas form a tight bond with their owners and hate to be left alone. Athletes of many talents, Vizslas excel at various sports and activities. They are eager and graceful trotters of great stamina, making them ideal jogging or biking companions.

This event is free for Members and included with General Admission. Please be sure to purchase your General Admission tickets for the date of the event.
