New Forest Viz Wiz & 40 (ish) Gingernuts!

Early this morning we headed to the New Forest for a Viz Wiz meeting, great turn out, hard to count how many there actually was as vizzies don't tend to stay still for long! A few people attempted to count and the general opinion was around 40.

Here we are at home before leaving, slightly worried about Mum - she made us wear bandannas, apparently so she could spot us easily, hmmmm humans do seem to be slightly lacking in such things as eyesight and sense of smell, there were more than 40 humans there but I didn't feel the need to tie a scarf, balloon, or anything else around Mum's neck in case I lost her. Must be a human thing though as several people commented what a good idea it was, nothing stranger than humans I say.

I had a great time, charging around like a lunatic and saying hello to every single dog, plus, bonus I spotted an old friend Hazel looking extremely attractive in a pink collar, I think she rather liked me also, all the teeth showing was just for show, in fact I was convinced of it, yes the more I think of it the more I think she REALLY liked me, pic below shows me giving her a hug whilst we were supposed to be sitting for our photos to be taken, yawn.

Here are all our old pals, Charlie (in the background) plus Herbie and Hazel.

My fame is spreading also, it was good to hear Mum being corrected when she introduced herself as Kate, the response being ahhh Dexter & Ditto. In fact I am sure a lot more people will remember me after today as I did rather strut around making sure everyone knew I was the boss. (despite wearing a poncy bandanna that is)

Ditto on the other hand was very well behaved and stayed close by Mum, showing everyone where the breeds nickname Velcro Vizsla comes from. Here she is per usual looking like butter wouldn't melt in her mouth, sat in between Charlie and myself, as you can see I'm sticking my tongue out with my attention elsewhere other than on the boring camera!

Its actually a huge compliment to the breed in general that although there were approx 40 dogs, most of which hadn't met before, ranging from 14 week old puppies to more elderly Vizsla, some bitches some dogs that we all got along great with no fighting, a bit of grumbling and authority stamping between us men and others living up to another nickname the Vocal Vizsla, but I bet not all breeds would behave so well under the circumstances.
