Crimson Sky Vizslas is a dog training business run by Pam and Mark Spurgeon, dedicated to training Vizslas for hunting, field trials, conformation, obedience, agility, and companionship. They specialize in producing “Dual Vizslas” that excel in both the field and show ring, emphasizing temperament, intelligence, drive, and bid ability. The trainers have decades of experience breeding and training Vizslas, with multiple dogs achieving national titles through the Vizsla Club of America (VCA), AKC, and NVA. Mark is an AKC Field Trial Judge and Hunt Test Judge, and both owners actively mentor new Vizsla owners and support local and national Vizsla clubs. They train dogs in a family-oriented environment, often integrating training into daily life, including hunting, yard play, and RV trips. They currently offer training services in central Florida and travel to surrounding states for local trials and national events.

In addition to training, they operate a full-service dog and cat grooming shop called “Paws-Abilities,” and they are active breeders of Vizsla puppies with a focus on health, structure, and working ability. Their training philosophy is rooted in decades of hands-on field trial and competition experience, with all dogs living as family pets and trained with high standards of discipline and socialization.
