Brandiwine Sport Dogs Life Is Short, Play With Your Dog! We are proud members of the Vizsla Club of America and love to showcase this wonderful breed. WE DO NOT TRAIN DOGS!

All of our dogs have experience/titles in - conformation, agility, obedience, rally, hunt tests, scent work. If you are interested in learning more about this versatile breed, we can help! We are currently NOT breeding any litters but we are very happy to give you contact information for other reputable breeders. You can expect an application process with all puppies. All breeding dogs are health checked (OFA/Penn hips/elbows, cardiac, thyroid and eyes) prior to being accepted into any breeding program and are sold with a health guarantee and a contract. The goal is ALWAYS to place a puppy in the perfect forever home. We have been contacted multiple times by families with problem dogs or those wanting their dogs trained to hunt. We train our own dogs and have worked for two decades with trainers who are willing to train us, the owners and handlers. We continue to work with trainers regularly. If you are experiencing a situation with you dog that is beyond your capability to handle, please contact a professional trainer. We can help point you in the right direction if you live in the Quad City (Iowa/Illinois) area.

Woohoo! Open STD Q #2! Pax and I took the show on the road to Granger to the Des Moines Golden Retriever Club trials and Jester Park Equestrian Center. Pax loves running in the dirt, so off we went to the arena. The exposure to new places is important in his training and he had no issues. He was a little distracted in JWW and had a couple of refusals, but ran pretty well. After an almost 6 hour wait, he finally got to run STD and did great, just one table fault. One more STD Q and we won't have to worry about the table again! He also enjoyed a couple of walks on the equestrian trails and socializing with old and new friends. Love my little man!

It finally happened! Yesterday Pax and I ran like the team we can be at a trial! Huge thanks to HBCCI and judge David Fraska for fun day. Pax was awesome, nailed every contact and we only made one error in three runs - damn tunnels and stupid me for a late cross with no verbal, duh! We came home with our Excellent FAST title and, FINALLY, our first Open Standard leg! The miss was in Master Jumpers, but the balance of the course was perfect and we received many compliments on how smoothly we ran. Tearjerker of the day - as Pax collected himself before entering the weaves in JWW, he barked twice - just like Sorcha always did before entering the weaves. A kind of "I got this, mom" communication. There have been other times Sorcha's spirit has let its presence be known at trials, and I know she's watching us and at times whispering in Pax's ear. I hope she's enjoying the show.

Time to catch up!

Pax earned his AKC Advanced Interior and Exterior titles, now just needs to finish Container for his overall Advanced title. He once again enjoyed the neighbors 4th of July light show, while Dink snored on the bed. Pax and I pulled it together to earn his AKC Excellent Jumpers title - on to Master! He was so much improved at this trial - when his handler finally figures out what she's doing, he'll be unstoppable! He also picked up another Excellent FAST Q and did some posing on the beach.

Dink celebrated his 8th Birthday! How can that be? He's taking some time off from competition, but still is enjoying his weekly scent work class and walks with mom.

Brody has had increasing health issues. He is in renal failure and became incredibly weak and refusing food last week. A trip to the vet found his phosphorus level very high, so he's now on meds for that and had a few days of Cerenia and has miraculously bounced right back to being able to motor around the house as his usual, although we insist on helping him on stairs. His voracious appetite also returned. Yes, he can still counter surf, lol! He'll be 15 next month, so no heroic measures will be taken, but as long as he is comfortable, eating well, and showing us he's enjoying life we'll do what we can to keep him going.

Wow! Just. few days left in May, and I haven't dumped photos yet this year! So, here you go!

Happy Birthday to Pax! Hard to believe he is 4 years old already. He has become a fantastic partner in all the things, and we're looking forward to much more fun in 2026!

Last photo dump of 2025! What great year the pups have had - new titles, fun and successful Vizsla National Event, and lots of learning for both dogs and handler. Training has been frequent and regular since retirement, and the work is beginning to yield a great bounty! Pax and I are coming together as a team on the agility field and having SO MUCH FUN! Dink and Pax have also returned to Scent Work training and are working out some of our kinks. Bruce and Trey continue to hone their skills in Scent Work as well and are preparing to tackle NACSW NW3 in the coming year. We're looking forward to a joyous 2026! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Happiest of Birthdays to our Brody! Now that he's 14 he wanted a driver's permit, but since his feet still don't reach the pedals he had to be satisfied with a "ce***za" and a huge cookie, which he did not share with this brothers and sister. He's doing great, extremely NAUGHTY ever since we got his arthritis pain under control. Worst (or best?) counter surfer ever - and we couldn't be happier to see him this way. Still so missing my Sorcha every single day, but she's in good company at the bridge with Momma Morgan, Quin and Tikka, and her BFF gray dog Sky is probably still letting her push him around. Happiest of birthdays to the rest of the Celtic litter - Carly, Zola, Hazel and Riley - hope you all got toys and treat galore, and lots of extra scritches and cuddles.

In other news, Wren is being retrieved from the vet after having a hernia repair today. All is well!

Time to catch up! Life has been so crazy lately, but things will change very soon, because . . . . RETIREMENT! Lots more fun with red boys (and a spotted girl) coming up!

Some fantastic photos from Mike Lifer at our National Agility trial! We may not have earned many Qs, but came home with some great shots!

Dink had a birthday! 7 years old - how did my special boy become a veteran? So proud of all of his accomplishments over the last 7 years - OHBIS PBISS GCH CH Kizmar Pagliacci Can You Dig It? JH DCAT ACT1 ACT1J SWA SCE SEE SIE TKN FITS SN CCSS-L3 ORT L1I NW1 RATI

Pax and I finally worked as a team at the SCKC agility trial and came home with his Open Jumpers title! He was only entered in JWW as we are working through contact issues. His first Excellent Jumpers run was also very nice, he just decided that weaves were optional. I'm so looking forward to time to train, can't wait to see where we'll go!

Guess what we did!?!

Introducing Wren, the latest addition to our pack. When we saw her face on the Muscatine Humane Society page, we knew we had to bring her home. She's supper sweet, able to deal with all the boys and so very smart! She's got a lot to learn and needs to put on a few pounds, but she's fitting right in.

The Friday after we returned from Nationals, Pax entertained around 200 5-6 year olds at the Muscatine Kiddie Barnyard, but on at the Muscatine Agricultural Learning Center and sponsored by the local FFA. Pax spent six hours doing obedience and agility demos, then had every child come up to him, ask to pet the dog, let him sniff their hand and then scratch him under the chin. His tail didn't stop wagging all day! We've got the Best Dog in the World!
